Hello everyone, in this video I'll be showing you how to sign your accommodation memo and also how to print the accommodation memo.

0:00:10.690,0:00:31.540

Once your accommodations have been approved by your Student Accessibility Resources Advisor, you would receive an e-mail that states that it has been approved and your accommodation memo has been generated. Sometimes you'll be required to sign the memo as well, so from the e-mail you get you can click on the link that takes you to the accommodation system.

0:00:31.860,0:00:42.210

Where you are able to download & sign your letters. However, in this video I'll be showing you how to access your letter directly from the Student

0:00:42.850,0:00:55.780

Accessibility Resources website. Scroll down on the website, you can either click on the Access the Accommodate portal or under the popular links click on Accommodate portal. So I'll be doing that.

0:00:58.790,0:01:04.761

Once you click on the link, it will take it to the system that we currently use to manage student

0:01:05.156,0:01:13.954

accommodations. Then first, you will be required to select the type of user. If you're a student, you would select student. Once you select student, you would be

0:01:15.054,0:01:34.454

Required to log in with your student information and then after logging in, the homepage will be displayed. From the homepage you click on accommodation menu and from the accommodation menu, you would select the accommodation letters sub menu that would bring it to the letters' page. Now you would see.

0:01:34.554,0:01:37.104

All the letters that you have received from our office.

0:01:37.774,0:01:43.044

Since the time you were registered, the most recent would be at the top.

0:01:43.744,0:02:05.304

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. So, I'm going to type in my first and last name as a way to sign and to acknowledge.

0:02:05.354,0:02:14.444

That I have received the accommodation letter. Usually, you're advised to go over the letter before signing to be sure that you got the right accommodations for your

0:02:15.534,0:02:36.064

Classes and so once that's done, you save. Once it's saved, it shows that your accommodation letter has been signed. And that would also notify your advisor 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 and then you can see the letter.

0:02:37.574,0:02:47.134

Also, you have the option to print letter directly which would take you to your print page and that is the end of the video. If you have any questions please feel free to reach us.

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

0:00:11.000,0:00:25.000In 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.

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

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

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

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

0:00:50.000,0:01:00.000So 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.

0:01:00.000,0:01:11.000So 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.

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

0:01:19.000,0:01:31.000Once 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.

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

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

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

0:01:52.000,0:02:02.000The 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.

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

0:02:11.000,0:02:27.000In 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,

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

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

0:00:01.920,0:00:08.720

Hello everyone. Welcome to this video. In this video, I'll be showing you how to schedule an

0:00:08.720,0:00:14.080

appointment with your accessibility advisor using Navigate. There are different ways

0:00:14.080,0:00:21.440

to schedule an appointment. You can either call the office at 616-331-2490

0:00:21.440,0:00:28.560

or send an email to [email protected]. In this video, I'll be showing you how to

0:00:28.560,0:00:36.560

schedule an appointment using Navigate. From our website gvsu.edu/accessibility,

0:00:36.560,0:00:44.240

Scroll down under the popular links and click on the meet with your access advisor. Once you click

0:00:44.240,0:00:51.120

on the button, it takes you to the navigate page and then you click login to navigate 360 on that

0:00:51.120,0:00:59.280

page. An alternative would be to go to your web browser and search for GVSU navigate and click on

0:00:59.280,0:01:05.600

the first option available. Once you click on that option, it also takes you to navigate page. Scroll

0:01:05.600,0:01:13.440

down on that page and click login to navigate 360. Once you log in to navigate 360, you are brought

0:01:13.440,0:01:19.520

to the homepage of navigate. Different information are displayed like your courses that you're

0:01:19.520,0:01:29.520

currently taking, calendar as well as reports. On this page, click schedule an appointment.

0:01:29.520,0:01:35.600

On the new appointment page, the first option you have to select is the office you would

0:01:35.600,0:01:43.680

like to meet with. In this option, select student accessibility resources from the drop-own options.

0:01:43.680,0:01:48.000

This is the same system that is used to meet with other offices on campus. So if you want

0:01:48.000,0:01:54.000

to meet with them, you can also use navigate to schedule your appointment. Next, after selecting

0:01:54.000,0:01:59.840

the office, we'll select the service that you are requesting. There are different options available.

0:01:59.840,0:02:06.480

If you're a first-time student that just completed the registration form, click first meeting. Select

0:02:06.480,0:02:11.840

first meeting from the service dropdown. If you are a returning student, you can either select

0:02:11.840,0:02:17.680

the follow-up meeting 30 minutes or 60 minutes depending on the duration of your meeting, how

0:02:17.680,0:02:23.120

long you think the meeting would last with your advisor. If you're using Learning Skills for the

0:02:23.120,0:02:28.400

first time, select learning skills first session. And if you're a returning Learning Skills user,

0:02:28.400,0:02:36.080

select the follow-up option. So in this video, I'd select first meeting. Once you select the service,

0:02:36.080,0:02:40.640

the next thing is the date. When would you like to meet with your advisor? In this,

0:02:40.640,0:02:46.400

it will display a calendar. So, I'm going to select a date in October. For this,

0:02:46.400,0:02:53.760

I selected October 7th. Once you have selected the dates, click find available time. Once you

0:02:53.760,0:02:59.040

click find available time, navigate would show you available time slots starting from the dates that

0:02:59.040,0:03:07.840

you selected. So I selected October 7th and now I have available times on the 8th, the 9th, the 10th

0:03:07.840,0:03:18.240

and further down the month. For a new student, you would just go ahead and select any time that works

0:03:18.240,0:03:24.640

for you. However, if you are a returning student that already know your advisor, you can go ahead

0:03:24.640,0:03:31.920

and select the staff that you'd like to meet. because I selected first meeting that's why there

0:03:31.920,0:03:37.280

is no staff displayed because as a new person you do not know who your advisor is but then for a

0:03:37.280,0:03:42.160

returning student, you'll see the list of advisors that we have in the office and then you can select

0:03:42.160,0:03:48.800

the advisor you would like to meet. In addition, you can also select the type of meeting, right,

0:03:48.800,0:03:54.240

how you would like to meet, if it's in person in Allendale, if it's in the Devos center, if it's

0:03:54.240,0:04:00.160

a virtual call maybe on Zoom, on Teams or if you would prefer a phone call. So for this video I'm

0:04:00.160,0:04:06.560

going to select in-person Allendale and then it will definitely refresh the time slots available.

0:04:06.560,0:04:14.000

Also in addition you can select the location, right, we only have one location in Allendale

0:04:14.000,0:04:19.840

which is the Student Accessibility Resource Center located at 215 The Blue Connection. So I'll select

0:04:19.840,0:04:26.160

that. Once you have done that you select the time that works for you. So, I'm going to select 1 p.m.

0:04:26.160,0:04:32.400

on Tuesday the 7th. And then it will bring you to the review page where the information you

0:04:32.400,0:04:36.800

selected on the previous page will be displayed. For example, the office I would like to meet which

0:04:36.800,0:04:42.480

is Student Accessibility Resources, the service I selected, first meeting, the date, the time

0:04:42.480,0:04:50.0001 to 2 p.m. 

as well as the location and then if you have any other information that you want to

0:04:50.000,0:04:55.280

share with your advisor, you can actually put that here. Once that is done, you'll also be required

0:04:55.280,0:05:01.360

to put in your phone number so that you can get a text message reminder if you want to opt for that

0:05:01.360,0:05:08.640

option. Once you have selected all this, you click schedule. Once you schedule your appointment,

0:05:08.640,0:05:14.960

the appointment scheduled page would be displayed. That is how to schedule your appointment through

0:05:14.960,0:05:21.920

navigate. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at 616-331-2490

0:05:21.920,0:05:28.320

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.

0:00:03.070,0:00:22.760

Hello everyone and welcome to this video. In this video, I'll be showing you how to schedule your midterms and finals with the Student Accessibility Resources Office. To begin, visit the website gvsu.edu/accessibility, on the home page of the website, scroll down.

0:00:23.250,0:00:27.080

Under the popular links and click on Testing Center.

0:00:27.740,0:00:30.410

Once you click on the testing center, it would take you.

0:00:31.800,0:00:39.604

To the Testing Center page, Scroll down and click on Schedule Exam and Quizzes with Access

0:00:40.288,0:00:55.346

Once you click on the 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 select the type of user that you are so you would

0:00:55.396,0:01:15.386

Select the student. Once you click on, students will be required to log in with your GVSU credentials and once you are logged in properly, you would view the homepage of the Accommodate system. An alternative would be to go to the website my.gvsu.edu.

0:01:15.626,0:01:27.386

Again, you 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.

0:01:28.156,0:01:38.866

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 information.

0:01:40.766,0:01:43.696

Once you're logged in, the news feed will be displayed.

0:01:44.516,0:02:04.986

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. On the Test Request page, kindly review the information that we have which are.

0:02:05.156,0:02:19.506

One, all test requests must be submitted five days prior to the test request 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.

0:02:20.646,0:02:41.046

Open booking slots, kindly reach out to our office at 616-331-2490. 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 will be required to select is your class.

0:02:41.476,0:02:46.666

If you do not see your class displayed, kindly reach out to your accessibility advisor.

0:02:47.336,0:02:51.806

In this case I would select system testing. Once you've selected your class.

0:02:53.626,0:02:55.356

You can click the next step.

0:02:56.046,0:02:59.836

But then, before we go to the next step, let's review some of the additional filters.

0:03:00.846,0:03:07.586

The first is the building. You can select the building which would limit the testing room slots available.

0:03:08.416,0:03:20.506

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.

0:03:22.496,0:03:42.766

In a case where the duration of the test is shorter than the class length and 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, select the time or the length of your.

0:03:42.816,0:03:43.346

Tests.

0:03:45.156,0:04:04.146

If you set the override course length to no,  what that means is that the system would assume that the exam is the same as the class length. So if the classes is a 50-minute class, it means your tests will be 50 minutes. If it's a 3 hour class, it assumes that your test is 3 hours.

0:04:05.576,0:04:25.246

So for the final exam, you also have the final exam filter. If it's a 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 system automatically determines the length of the final exam.

0:04:25.696,0:04:32.026

Alright, so once you've selected the filter, click next. On the next page, you will need to select the dates for your exam.

0:04:33.336,0:04:50.346

By default the system would show you 5 business days in advance from the day that you are creating the request. So the earliest date I can actually test is on the 6th of October, and that's because today is the 29th of September which is a Monday.

0:04:51.046,0:05:01.656

Before the 6th. Alright so select the date of your exam. In this case I'd select October 8th and then once that is done, we move to Step 3 which is select a space.

0:05:02.356,0:05:22.446

The system will show you the different locations that we have. So we have the Devos, we have Center for Health Sciences, and then we have the Blue Connection. For each of these centers, you can actually expand them to see their available time slots alright. So in this case, I'll be going with the Blue Connection. And then for the blue connection, we have 4 time slots.

0:05:22.776,0:05:42.956

So we have 8:15AM, 10:30AM, 1 PM and 3:00 PM, right? If you do not see a particular time slot, it's possible that you need to set a course override in the first step. In this case, I will just go ahead and select 10:30, so I'll click on the request button to select that time slot.

0:05:43.366,0:06:03.566

On the confirm exam booking page, there are mandatory fields that you have to fill for example, if it's a final exam or not. So if it is a final exam, I would click yes if it's not, I would click no and then you would also see the list of accommodations that you have approved. So the accommodations that you need for this exam, kindly ensure that you check them and the ones that.

0:06:03.706,0:06:23.786

You do not need. You can uncheck them. Also if there are some resources that you need for this exam that you are requesting, for example, your calculator, your math formula, your open book or open notes. Kindly check those boxes to request for them. Again, we have another question do you need a reader? If you need

0:06:23.836,0:06:39.906
