Priority Registration<\/h2>\n

Students with an active DAS file who are approved for academic accommodations are eligible for priority registration<\/strong>. This allows you to register one week before registration opens for all other WOU students<\/strong>, giving you extra time to plan for the accommodations you will need in the upcoming term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advocacy<\/h2>\n

All students can receive guidance in understanding university policies and procedures, helping them communicate effectively with faculty and staff. DAS encourages self-advocacy by supporting students in developing these important skills. If you would like assistance, please schedule an appointment with DAS at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n

Common Accommodations, Explained<\/h2>\n

After your services are approved by DAS, you will receive a welcome letter<\/strong> via your campus email and be asked to schedule an orientation<\/strong> with our office. During orientation, a DAS staff member will walk you through how your accommodations work and how to access them through AIM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
