3. Attend your New Student Appointment
During your New Student Appointment, your Disability Management Specialist will discuss any barriers you may experience in the educational environment and accommodations to provide equal access.
Once accommodations are determined, you will be instructed on how to activate your accommodations each semester through the DSS online portal Titanable, learn about resources and referrals.
Keep in contact with your Disability Management Specialist, and discuss any challenges or concerns that you may have. We are here to support you!
TEMPORARY Disability
If you have a temporary disability with a duration of less than 6 months, DSS may be able to assist you. It is most important however, for you to connect with your instructor.
DSS is available to discuss additional options and to verify disability information for the instructor as necessary.
If you were already registered with DSS with a different disability, there is no need to re-register again. We ask that you do not complete the registration form again. Please reach out to your Disability Managment Specialist directly.
There are no personalized transportation services available from DSS or elsewhere on campus for lower mobility injuries.
Graduate students
If you were already registered with DSS as an undergraduate student while at CSUF, there is no need to re-register as a graduate student. We ask that you do not complete the registration form again.
Please reach out to your Disability Managment Specialist directly or email dssservices@fullerton.edu if you do not remember who you worked with.
