To our graduating seniors, congratulations! We wish you the best in all of your future endeavors and it has been a privilege to work with you. To those students coming back in the fall, we can't wait to work with you again! Then there are the new students coming in for their first year of college. We look forward to helping you transition into college and achieve your goals. 

For all of our students, have a great summer! 

Umass students!

To all new students, if you're going to be signing up for academic accommodations, please call 508.999.8711 to make an appointment.


You will also need to email (access_success@umassd.edu) documentation that fits our documentation guidelines here: https://www.umassd.edu/accessibility/documentation-guidelines/.

 

Students who have summer courses and wish to register for accommodations, please email us at access_success@umassd.edu to make an appointment.

 

Students who will be returning in the fall, please remember that you must register for accommodations every semester. They do not roll over semester to semester. Schedule an intake appointment to register!

OSAS summer transition webinar

To all incoming students who are planning to register with OSAS in the Fall 2025 semester, we have something exciting in the works for you! We will be hosting a webinar this summer in August that is packed with information about transitioning from high school to college. It will include detailed information about the accommodation process, the differences between high school and college, tips for academic success, resources and ways to get involved on campus. 

If this is something you're interested in, please email access_success@umassd.edu to be added to our email list! When we have the exact dates of the webinar, we will post them here and also email anyone on our list with updates. Zoom links will also be emailed out to anyone who adds their name to our list so they can attend. 

See you then!
