Welcome to UAF Disability Services! 
At UAF Disability Services, our goal is to provide UAF students with access to academic courses and opportunities, through an interactive accommodation process, and so support them throughout their academic journey.
We provide accommodations to students on the Fairbanks campus as well as on the Bristol Bay, Chukchi, Interior Alaska, Kuskokwim, Northwest, Community and Technical College (CTC), UAF eCampus, and College of Indigenous Studies (CIS) campuses.
Regardless if you are attending UAF community campuses in person, or via distance learning programs, please reach out to us via phone, email or drop by our office to request temporary and long-term accommodations. Students can request their approved accommodations each semester through AIM by clicking the Login button below.
We enjoy supporting individuality, promoting independence and celebrating graduations!
Please register for our 'All Access' to Neurodiversity Workshops.
This Fall semester DS is offering a free three-part workshop on neurodiversity. Embracing neurodiversity begins with recognizing the value of different ways of thinking, communicating, learning, and experiencing the world.
The 'All Access' free virtual neurodiversity training series is designed to build on itself. Participants are encouraged to register for all three workshops for the full journey. After the series concludes, UA DS will also offer a free 30-minute follow-up Coffee Chat to continue the conversation (date and time to be determined). An invitation will be sent to all registrants.
Since the first workshop is starting on September 16th, please register EARLY!
To learn more about each individual workshop, who will be presenting and how to register please check out our Training Opportunities sources.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to Contact Us!

2. Sign in using your UAF single sign-on information (Same one you use for UAonline
or Canvas),
3. Near the center of the page, underneath "Accommodation Requests Fall 2026", click
"Add requests for classes",
4. Select the classes for which you would like to receive your accommodations, then
click "continue to next step",
5. Select the accommodations you'd like to receive and click "Submit Request."
After you do this, the next page should list the classes, the accommodation requested, along with "processing”. When you see this, your end of the process is complete, and an email will be sent to your instructors shortly thereafter.
