Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS)
Important: OSAS exam registration instructions
As many of you are already aware, the University's OSAS Exam Registration system has not been working consistently for most students since the beginning of the semester. As a result, all students must register for their exams in person at the OSAS office in Pine Dale Hall until spring 2027 when we will be using the Accommodate Exam Booking.
Please keep the following registration deadlines in mind:
- Regular exams: You must register at least 5 business days in advance.
- Final exams: You must register at least 10 business days in advance.
Final Exam Times
We will be offering two exam sessions for finals:
- 8:00 a.m.
- 11:30 a.m.
Please register for your final exams as soon as possible! Do not wait until the registration deadline!
We are now using Accommodate by Simplicity
Use Accommodate to upload documents for housing and/or academic accommodations, sign accommodation agreements, and request accommodations each semester.
Learn how to use Accommodate with our step by step instructions.
New students
Upload your documentation and call our office at 508.999.8711 to schedule an intake appointment. Once you submit one piece of documentation you are now considered a "returning" student. Any time you need to interact with the platform you would sign directly into Accommodate. Booking mark it in your browser for easier access!!
Returning students
Visit Accommodate to request semester accommodations. You do not need to schedule an appointment unless you have a new request or concerns.
After you submit your semester request, you will receive a follow-up email from Simplicity.Accommodate@umassd.edu prompting you to review and sign the required semester agreements.
Please note: Your faculty will not be notified of your accommodations until you have completed this step.
Please also be patient as we process requests. We are currently receiving a high volume of student requests and appreciate your patience as we work to process each request as promptly as possible.
Housing accommodation requests

Accommodations are not retroactive
Per the Americans with Disabilities Act, academic accommodations can not be granted retroactively. Therefore, it is imperative that students register with the Office of Student Accessibility Services and request their accommodations at the beginning of EACH semester.
The Office of Student Accessibility Services is located in Pine Dale Hall, Room 7136. When you arrive at Pine Dale Hall please use the call box and dial ext. 8711 and a staff member will meet you at the entrance to open the door.
