After registering for classes each semester, each student served by Disability Support Services (DSS) must log into Eagle Accommodate and complete a Semester Accommodation Request to have his or her notice sent to instructors. A student guide has been created to assist with navigating the system.

Anyone who needs assistance with submitting a request or doesn't see any approved accommodations in the system should contact their DSS coordinator or email [email protected].

Testing

A student testing guide has been created to assist with navigating DSS' testing process:

• To request testing accommodations, access Eagle Accommodate at least one week in advance of the test date. Students with a late test request will need to contact the DSS office at 919-866-5670 or [email protected] for assistance.
• Requests can be entered in advance for the entire semester but are accepted only between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Anyone who needs assistance should contact their assigned coordinator or email [email protected].

Requesting alternative-format textbooks

After registering for classes each semester, students need to submit a completed Textbook Alternative Format Request and proof of purchase to the DSS Office to receive their textbooks in an alternative format.

Requesting an interpreter

To request communication access for a Wake Tech event, submit a completed Sign Language Interpreter/Cued Language Transliterator Request at least four business days in advance of the event.

Requesting study strategy sessions

For students registered with DSS, one-on-one study strategy sessions with a learning specialist are available on a first-come, first-served basis in areas where help is most needed:

• Time management
• Study skills
• Organization
• Curriculum subjects
• Test preparation

To submit a study session request, log into Eagle Accommodate, find the "Survey" option and select the study session request form for the appropriate semester. If a form isn't online for that semester, check back after course registration has opened for that semester.
