To apply for SSD services, complete and submit the Online Intake Form, available from the Student Portal. In accessing the form, you will be prompted to enter your SHSU user name and password. Within one business day of receiving your Online Intake Form, the SSD staff will contact you to schedule an intake appointment for you with an Accommodation Counselor. If you have not received a contact from the SSD staff within one business day of submitting your Online Intake Form or if you are unable to complete the form, please contact the SSD Office at 936-294-3512 or [email protected].
You are required to submit documentation of your disability to SSD if you are requesting accommodations at SHSU. The documentation should be consistent with the General Documentation Guidelines. Please submit your documentation prior to your intake appointment, so that the Accommodation Counselor will have time to review it. The documentation must be from a qualified professional who is licensed or certified to diagnose the disability in question.
In the intake appointment, the Accommodation Counselor will gather information from you regarding your disability, the challenges that you experience due to your disability, and the accommodations that you are requesting at SHSU. If you are approved for services, the Accommodation Counselor will develop an accommodation plan for you, listing the specific accommodations that you are eligible to receive at SHSU.
If approved for academic accommodations, you must contact the SSD support staff prior to each semester to request Accommodation Letters for your courses. Shortly before the start of the semester, the SSD staff will e-mail an Accommodation Letter listing your approved accommodations to each of your instructors, with a copy to you.
