How do I view student accommodation letters?

  • Go to your CougarAccess portal.
  • Under “Unread Letters,” view each letter by choosing “View Letter PDF.” 
  • After viewing a student’s letter, it will move to the “Opened Letters,” section on the lower portion of the page. 
    Note: Professors are not linked to the system until a student with accommodations is enrolled in one of their courses and that semester/term has started.

How do I review an accommodation letter after I’ve opened it the first time?

  • In the “Opened Letters” section, you can now find previously opened letters in a variety of ways.  
    • Drop down menus allow you to filter by class and/or accommodation. 
    • Tabs showing current and previous semesters/terms.  
    • Search fields under “Student Name” and “Net ID” allow you to quickly find an individual student’s letter.
    • In the list, you can see the following information about each letter at a glance: 
      • Course title 
      • Student Name 
      • Net ID 
      • Accommodations Included in the Letter 
      • Sent Date (effective date of the letter)
