no option will be provided. It's also possible

0:03:06.380,0:03:21.570
that at the point of filling out the form, you might forget to upload the documentation. If you do that during your first meeting with your advisor, kindly share this documentation with them, or you can also email it to us directly.

0:03:21.750,0:03:27.160
Also, kindly provide information on any accommodations that you have used in the past.

0:03:30.520,0:03:42.370
And then, the accommodations you are requesting for at Grand Valley. So, are you requesting extended time, for example, or let's say you are requesting a scribe, a reader, van service, right? All the…

0:03:42.870,0:03:55.099
accommodations that you're requesting, kindly provide them. Are you requesting housing accommodation? If you are requesting housing accommodation, click yes, and if you are not, click no. So I'm going to select no, because I'm just registering.

0:03:55.100,0:04:11.980
Are you requesting accommodations for pregnancy? Again, if you are requesting pregnancy accommodations, click yes, otherwise click no. I selected no. Are you requesting accommodations for study abroad? This is an optional field, so I would not fill it out. And then, the final field.

0:04:12.750,0:04:28.310
we have to fill out is, how did you hear about SAR? So, did you hear about the office at the orientation, or when you visited your academic advisor, or probably you spoke with the faculty? We would like to know. So, kindly select the option that appeals, and then if

0:04:28.600,0:04:42.099
the way you learned about SAR is not included in the list, you can select other and provide details on how you heard about the office. Again, these are optional fields that you can decide not to.

0:04:42.280,0:04:50.900
fill out. Alright, so once that is done, you click on Submit, and then once you submit, you would get instructions on how to request

0:04:52.020,0:05:02.850
You will get instructions on how to schedule your first appointment, and also, once you submit the form, information will be displayed, basically telling you to either call the office or

0:05:03.070,0:05:04.550
Click on the link.

0:05:05.500,0:05:21.650
below to schedule your appointment using Navigate. We have a video dedicated to walking you through the process of scheduling your appointment using Navigate, so kindly watch that video to schedule your first appointment. Thank you, and bye for now.

0:00:02.000,0:00:27.000
Hello, everyone. In this video, we'll be showing you how to sign your accommodation memo and also how to prints the accommodation memo. Once your accommodations have been approved by your student accessibility resources advisor, you would receive an email that states that it has been approved and your accommodation memo has been generated.

0:00:27.000,0:00:47.000
Sometimes you'll be required to sign the memo as well. So from the email, you can click on the on link that takes you to the accommodation system where you're able to download and sign your letters. However, in this video, I'll be showing you how to access your letter

0:00:47.000,0:01:02.000
Directly from the student accessories resources website. From the website click on the accommodation memo request once you click on it,  it will take you to the system that we currently use to manage student accommodations.

0:01:02.000,0:01:21.000
Then first you'll be required to select the type of user if you're a student to select student. Once you select students you would be required to log in with your student information. Then after logging in, the home page will be displayed from the home page you click on

0:01:21.000,0:01:30.000
accommodation menu and from the accommodation menu you select the accommodation letter submenu That will bring you to the letters page.

0:01:30.000,0:01:34.000
Now you would see all the letters that you have received from our office.

0:01:34.000,0:01:39.000
Since the time you were registered, the most recent would be at the top.

0:01:39.000,0:01:57.000
And then based on what is displayed beside it, you'll be able to tell if you have signed it or if a signature is required. So currently this is my most recent accommodation memo. I would select it and then, if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see the option to sign.

0:01:57.000,0:02:04.000
So I'm going to type in my first and last name as a way to sign and to acknowledge that I have received the accommodation letter.

0:02:04.000,0:02:12.000
Usually you're advised to go over the letter before signing to be sure that you got the right accommodations for your

0:02:12.000,0:02:22.000
classes and so once the letter is reviewed, you click on save. Once it's saved, it shows that your accommodation letter has been signed and that would also notify your advisor.

0:02:22.000,0:02:31.000
And you can open the letter again and click on print letter or generate PDF. So when you click on generate PDF, a PDF document would be downloaded.

0:02:31.000,0:02:40.000
And then you can see the letter. Also, you have the option to print letter directly, which would take you to your print page.

0:02:40.000,0:02:44.000
And that is the end of the video. If you have any questions,

0:02:44.000,0:02:52.000
please feel free to reach out to us via our office phone line or send an email to us. Thank you for your time. Bye!

0:00:01.000,0:00:11.000
Hello, everyone, and welcome to this video. In this video, we would walk through how to submit a semester request.

0:00:11.000,0:00:25.000
In accommodate. At the beginning of each semester or towards the beginning of a semester you would receive an email from the office, from the Student Accessibility Office.

0:00:25.000,0:00:33.000
And the subject of the email will be something similar to accommodation renewal for the selected semester.

0:00:33.000,0:00:39.000
I'm currently displaying the email i received for the winter 2025 semester.

0:00:39.000,0:00:46.000
The email would specify the steps you need to follow to submit the semester request.

0:00:46.000,0:00:50.000
In the email, you'll notice that the first step is to log in to accommodate.

0:00:50.000,0:01:00.000
So to do that you would click on the accommodate link in the email. Once you click on the link, you will need to select the type of user.

0:01:00.000,0:01:11.000
So we have two options, either student or faculty As a student you'll select the student option, and then it will bring you to the home page.

0:01:11.000,0:01:19.000
From the home page you would select the accommodation menu and select the semester request submenu.

0:01:19.000,0:01:31.000
Once you select the semester request submenu, you'd click add new. Then you have to select the semester that you are submitting a semester request for.

0:01:31.000,0:01:39.000
From the dropdown, you will see the available semesters, I'll be submitting a semester request for winter 2025.

0:01:39.000,0:01:47.000
So I'd select winter 2025. After selecting Winter 2025, you have two options.

0:01:47.000,0:01:52.000
Either the "submit for all accommodations" or to "review the renewal" options.

0:01:52.000,0:02:02.000
The major difference is if you click submit for all accommodations it will submit a request for all the accommodations that you have gotten from our office.

0:02:02.000,0:02:11.000
But then if you click the review the renewal, then you have the option to select the accommodations that you want to be renewed.

0:02:11.000,0:02:27.000
In this video, I'll select submit for all accommodations. Once your semester request has been submitted, a text would be displayed same semester requests for all accommodations with all courses is completed. Mind you,

0:02:27.000,0:02:35.000
The text might be different but you would gets a message saying that your semester request has been completed.

0:02:35.000,0:02:41.000
Thank you and this is the end of the video. Bye.

0:00:01.540,0:00:03.190
Hello, everyone!

0:00:03.200,0:00:16.950
Welcome to this video. In this video, I'll be showing you how to schedule an appointment with your accessibility advisor using Navigate. There are different ways to schedule an appointment.

0:00:16.950,0:00:24.089
You can either call the office at 616-331-2490, or

0:00:25.080,0:00:43.000
Send an email to [email protected]. In this video, I'll be showing you how to schedule an appointment using Navigate. From our website, gvsu.edu/accessibility, click on the Meet With Your Access Advisor button.

0:00:43.070,0:00:57.370
Once you click on the button, it takes you to the Navigate page, and then you click Login to Navigate 360 on that page. An alternative would be to go to your web browser and search for GVSU Navigate.

0:00:57.970,0:01:09.299
And click on the first option available. Once you click on that option, it also takes you to Navigate page. Scroll down on that page and click Login to Navigate 360.

0:01:09.600,0:01:15.420
Once you log in to Navigate360, you are brought to the home page of Navigate.

0:01:15.680,0:01:26.030
Different information are displayed, like your courses that you're currently taking, calendar, as well as reports. On this page, click Schedule an Appointment.

0:01:28.970,0:01:36.329
On the new appointment page, the first option you have to select is the office you would like to meet with.

0:01:36.470,0:01:42.240
In this option, select Student Accessibility Resources from the drop-down options.

0:01:43.110,0:01:52.140
This is the same system that is used to meet with other offices on campus, so if you want to meet with them, you can also use Navigate to schedule your appointment.

0:01:52.370,0:02:04.569
Next, after selecting the office, we'll select the service that you are requesting. There are different options available. If you're a first-time student that just completed the registration form, click first.

0:02:05.000,0:02:08.630
Meeting. Select first meeting from the service dropdown.

0:02:08.759,0:02:20.790
If you're a returning student, you can either select the follow-up meeting 30 minutes or 60 minutes, depending on the duration of your meeting, how long you think the meeting will last with your advisor.

0:02:20.790,0:02:29.819
If you are using Learning Skills for the first time, select Learning Skills First Session. And if you're a returning Learning Skills user, select the follow-up option.

0:02:29.990,0:02:33.200
So, in this video, I'd select first meeting.

0:02:33.300,0:02:43.550
Once you select the service, the next thing is the date. When would you like to meet with your advisor? In this, it will display a calendar, so I'm going to select a date

0:02:44.360,0:02:52.380
in October. For this, I selected October 7th. Once you have selected the dates, click Find Available Time.

0:02:52.780,0:03:03.270
Once you click Find Available Time, Navigate would show you available time slots, starting from the date that you selected. So, I selected October 7th, and now I have dates

0:03:03.510,0:03:08.140
Available times on the 8th, the 9th, the 10th, and

0:03:08.800,0:03:10.670
Further down the month.

0:03:11.980,0:03:18.660
For a new student, you would just go ahead and select any time that works for you.

0:03:18.790,0:03:26.169
However, if you are a returning student that already know your advisor, you can go ahead and select the

0:03:26.680,0:03:43.749
staff that you'd like to meet. Because I selected first meeting, that's why there is no staff displayed, because as a new person, you do not know who your advisor is. But then for a returning student, you'll see the list of advisors that we have in the office, and then you can select the advisor you would like to meet.

0:03:43.850,0:04:01.809
In addition, you can also select the type of meeting, right, how you would like to meet. If it's in-person in Allendale, if it's in the Devos center, if it's a virtual call, maybe on Zoom, on Teams, or if you would prefer a phone call. So, for this video, I'm going to select in-person Allendale.

0:04:01.940,0:04:12.560
And then it will definitely refresh the time slots available. Also, in addition, you can select the location, right? We only have one location sitting in…

0:04:12.930,0:04:20.060
Allendale, which is the Student Accessibility Resource Center, located at 215 The Blue Collection, so I'll select that.

0:04:20.769,0:04:28.319
Once you have done that, you select the time that works for you. So I'm going to select 1PM on Tuesday the 7th.

0:04:28.320,0:04:43.610
 And then it will bring you to the review page, where the information you selected on the previous page will be displayed. For example, the office I would like to meet, which is Student Accessibility Resources, the service I selected, first meeting, the date, the time, 1 to 2pm.

0:04:43.880,0:04:48.840
As well as the location. And then, if you have any other information that you want to…

0:04:49.470,0:05:07.299
share with your advisor, you can actually put that here. Once that is done, you'll also be required to put in your your phone number so that you can get a text message reminder if you want to opt for that option. Once you have selected all this, you click Schedule. Once you schedule your appointment.

0:05:08.180,0:05:11.339
The appointment scheduled page would be displayed.

0:05:11.510,0:05:27.559
That is how to schedule your appointment through Navigate. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at 616-331-2490, or [email protected]. Thank you, and bye for now.

0:00:02.000,0:00:10.000
Hello, everyone. In this video I'll be showing you how to upload documentations in Accommodate.

0:00:10.000,0:00:15.000
At any point during your interaction with the Student Accessibility Resources Office.

0:00:15.000,0:00:33.000
You may be required as a student to submit documentations. To do that you go to the accommodate homepage which is the same system that you use to request accommodations to submit your test request, and also to download your accommodation memos.

0:00:33.000,0:00:45.000
The application can be accessed from the GVSU  my apps or you can also access the URL from any of the emails that you have received from the Student Accessibility Resources Office.

0:00:45.000,0:00:52.000
I'm currently logged in. And so from the home page you select the documents, and then you select pending documents.

0:00:52.000,0:01:13.000
Once you select pending document, you click add new you would give your file. your document a label. In this case, I'm going to use IEP plan, and then you select the document type. For example, is it  a supporting medical documentation, or is it a documentation from prior institution if you are a transfer student or is it another type of documentation

0:01:13.000,0:01:17.000
That does not fall under either these two categories.

0:01:17.000,0:01:30.000
And once you have selected the document type, you would upload the file. So you select upload file And then you select your documentation. Once that's done, you click submit.

0:01:30.000,0:01:50.000
Once it's submitted, your file would be displayed here and then we will be notified to review your documents. Now, it's also possible that when you're submitting the document you mistakenly submit it under approved documents. Not to worry, the system will automatically transfer it into the pending document area until it has been reviewed and approved by your advisor.

0:01:50.000,0:01:58.000
This is the end of the video. Thank you and bye for now.

0:00:01.190,0:00:08.450
Hello, everyone, and welcome to this video. In this video, I'll be showing you how to

0:00:09.240,0:00:28.970
Schedule your midterms and finals with the Student Accessibility Resources Office. To begin, visit the website gvsu.edu/accessibility. On the homepage of the website, scroll down and click on the Scheduling Test Request button.

0:00:29.110,0:00:39.739
Once you click on this button, it will take you to the Student Accessibility Resources Testing Center page. On this page, scroll down and click

0:00:40.180,0:00:44.530
The schedule exam and quizzes with access link.

0:00:44.580,0:00:59.510
Once you click on this link, it will take you to the Accommodate page, which is the software used to manage accommodations of students registered with our office. On this page, the first thing you want to do is to select the type of user that you are.

0:00:59.510,0:01:13.710
So, you'd select the student. Once you click on student, you'll be required to log in with your GVSU credentials, and once you are logged in properly, you would view the home page of the Accommodate system.

0:01:13.810,0:01:32.549
An alternative would be to go to the website my.gvsu.edu. Again, you'll be required to log in with your credentials. Once you're logged in, in the search bar, search for accommodate, and then click on the option with the GVSU logo.

0:01:33.000,0:01:42.719
Similar to the previous step, it would first ask you the type of user that you are, which is students, and then you'll be required to log in with your GVSU.

0:01:42.830,0:01:44.130
information.

0:01:45.550,0:01:48.829
Once you are logged in, the news feed will be displayed.

0:01:49.300,0:02:03.300
On the left-hand corner of the page, click on the Test Request module. If you do not see this option, kindly reach out to your Student Accessibility Resources Advisor to help you rectify the issue.

0:02:03.460,0:02:04.690
on the…

0:02:04.850,0:02:24.659
test request page, kindly review the information that we have, which are, one, all tests must be submitted 5 days prior to the test date, and secondly, all classes held in Allendale must take finals in Allendale, with the exception of nursing and physical therapy. And if there are no

0:02:25.440,0:02:34.410
slots, open booking slots, kindly reach out to our office at 616-331-2490.

0:02:34.840,0:02:51.870
Once you have reviewed the information at the top of the page, click on the New Testing Request button. Once you click on this button, the first thing you'll be required to select is your class. If you do not see your class displayed, kindly reach out to your accessibility advisor.

0:02:52.040,0:02:56.869
In this case, I'll select System Testing. Once you have selected your class.

0:02:58.390,0:03:00.450
You can click the next step.

0:03:00.820,0:03:05.030
But then, before we go to the next step, let's review some of the additional filters.

0:03:05.650,0:03:12.810
The first is the building. You can select the building, which would limit the, testing room slots available.

0:03:13.270,0:03:26.499
to you. So, you can leave that blank. The other option is the override course length. So, in a case where the duration of your test is shorter than the class length, kindly set your…

0:03:27.290,0:03:44.400
In a case where duration of the class is shorter than the test length, kindly select the yes option in the override course length, and then once you select the yes option, you'll notice that the length field will be displayed. From the length field.

0:03:44.580,0:03:48.420
Select the time or the length of your test.

0:03:49.940,0:04:09.339
If you still… if you set the override class length to no, what that means is that the exam will… the system would assume that the exam is the same as the class length. So if the class is a 50 minutes class, it means your test would be 50 minutes. If it's a 3-hour class, it assumes that your test is 3 hours.

0:04:09.770,0:04:26.639
Alright, so for the final exam, you also have the final exam filter. If it's the final exam, click yes. If not, click no. By default, the system assumes that it's not a final exam. And if it's a final exam, you will not be able to select the override option, because the

0:04:26.690,0:04:37.219
System will automatically determine the length of the final exam. Alright, so once you've selected the filter, click next. On the next page, you will need to select the date for your exam.

0:04:38.120,0:04:44.589
By default, the system would show you 5 business days in advance from the day that you

0:04:45.080,0:04:55.580
are creating the request. So the earliest date I can actually test is on the 6th of October, and that's because today's the 29th, which is a Monday.

0:04:55.860,0:05:06.869
