DSS Online Services

The DSS Office utilizes AIM, our online portal. This is available for students to apply for, or manage approved accommodations. This allows students to be able to manage their accommodations from wherever they are and at any time of the day!

To help in navigating our online portal, DSS has created some helpful tutorials demonstrating various functions within the system.

Apply with DSS

Students interested in receiving accommodations from LMU need to apply. The first step is completing the online application. The application tutorial video will walk you through the steps needed when completing the online application. In addition to the online application, students will be asked to submit documentation of their disability as well as history of accommodation. For more information on the application process, you may refer to our "Apply with DSS" page.

Faculty Notifications

Students approved for accommodations need to login to the online portal every semester to select which accommodations they want to use in each class. The faculty notification tutorial video will walk you through the process of selecting accommodations for each of your classes. Once you do this, a faculty notification email will be sent to your professors. For more information on the faculty notification process, you may refer to our "Faculty Notifications" page.

Scheduling Exams with DSS

If students need to take exams with the DSS Office, they need to be scheduled through the online portal. The scheduling proctored exams with DSS video tutorial will walk you through the process for submitting an exam request. Exams must be scheduled 7 days in advance (14 days prior to finals). For more information on the proctoring process, you may refer to our "Proctoring Services" page.

FACULTY - Alternative Testing Contract

In order for students to schedule exams with DSS, faculty must first complete the Alternative Testing Contract. The alternative testing contract for faculty video tutorial will walk faculty through the steps and type of information needed to complete the contract. The contract is applied to the class, not the individual student. DSS has more information for faculty regarding proctoring policies on our "Exam Accommodations" page. 

If you have any questions about the online portal, please contact DSS.
