Term Accommodations Request (Returning Students)

Returning students who are already registered with Accommodative Services should request their accommodations at the beginning of each new term no later than the first week of classes. To request accommodations each term, returning students must log in to Accommodative Services' online portal, AIM (Accessible Information Management).

Login directions, as well as a brief video tutorial, are below. Be sure to meet with your professors during their office hours to discuss how the accommodations will be handled.

How to Log In and Request Your Term Accommodations (brief video)

How To Request Your Term Accommodations

  1. Click on the orange "AIM - Returning Students - Request Term Accommodations" button. Use your Union College credentials to log in to the system.
  2. After you login, you will need to review and e-sign some accommodation-related agreements. Follow the instructions to sign the forms before making your requests.
  3. Your dashboard will say that there are no accommodation requests found for the current term. Click on the + sign to add accommodation requests for your classes.
  4. Your classes for the upcoming term are listed. You have the ability to apply all of your approved accommodations to all of your courses, or you can specify which accommodation you want to use for each course. Depending on your classes, you might not think that all of your accommodations are relevant, and this gives the freedom to choose which ones to utilize.
  5. Check the box next to each class for which you want to request accommodations.
  6. Next, check off the accommodations that you want to use for each class.
  7. Finally, hit the SUBMIT REQUEST button.

**If you add a class to your schedule after you have already requested your term accommodations, you will need to log back in to AIM to submit a new request for the new class. (Note that the new class may take up to 48 hours to appear in AIM.)

Congratulations! You are done, and your professors will be notified of your accommodations within 24 hours. Don’t forget to speak with your professors about your accommodations and how they might work for that particular class.
