Request Accommodations each semester

In order to receive accommodations and send notification of academic support services (NASS) each semester, you'll need to log into your OSD Student Portal with your MyCalStateLA username and password.

Once you log in, your Overview page displays important messages that need your attention; for example, when it’s time to set up your semester’s accommodation requests for your notification of academic support services (NASS). Make sure to read through the Important Notes as well. 

Note: Overview on a mobile device is available when clicking on the three-line dropdown option.

  2. Click Continue to Next Step, which will take you to the final step.
  3. Customize the accommodations you anticipate using in each class.
    • You can de-select an accommodation if you don't want it included in the notification of academic support services. For example, there may be classes, activities, or labs in which you don't need alternative testing.
    • When you finish customizing your accommodations in each class, click the Submit Request button.
  4. You should see a message reading Your Request Was Submitted Successfully.
    • Once you’ve completed this step, your notification of academic support services (NASS) letter will be emailed up to 6 weeks prior to the start of the term to the faculty members you indicated. If the term has already started, they’ll be sent immediately.
    • You'll receive a copy of each letter sent via email to your instructors. You can preview a PDF of each letter.
