[00:00:00.000]Hello and welcome to a tutorial
[00:00:02.000]on using the Accessible
[00:00:03.840]Information Management System,
[00:00:05.370]referred to as AIM,
[00:00:06.000]hosted by the University of
[00:00:07.410]Nebraska-Lincoln Services for
[00:00:09.060]Students with Disabilities
[00:00:10.540]Office, or SSD.
[00:00:12.000]In this video, we'll be
[00:00:13.230]demonstrating the first step in
[00:00:14.820]the process of requesting
[00:00:16.140]accommodations:
[00:00:17.000]sending your course
[00:00:17.880]accessibility letters to your
[00:00:19.230]instructors.
[00:00:20.000]First, navigate to ssd.unl.edu
[00:00:25.000]and fully open the browser on
[00:00:26.310]your device.
[00:00:27.000]On the SSD website, select "Student
[00:00:30.110]Login."
[00:00:31.000]Log in by using your UNL single
[00:00:32.610]sign-on credentials.
[00:00:34.000]Be ready to complete the Duo
[00:00:35.830]two-factor authentication.
[00:00:38.000]This is where you'll see your
[00:00:39.070]student dashboard.
[00:00:40.000]Your dashboard may notify you
[00:00:41.670]of e-agreements that you need
[00:00:43.320]to sign.
[00:00:44.000]Please review these documents
[00:00:45.400]and acknowledge them using the
[00:00:46.800]prompts on the screen.
[00:00:48.000]You should now see an overview
[00:00:49.860]of your AIM account dashboard.
[00:00:52.000]At the top of the page, you'll
[00:00:53.230]see a navigation bar where you
[00:00:54.720]can access help or sign out
[00:00:56.010]from your account.
[00:00:57.000]On the left is a black sidebar
[00:00:59.110]titled "My Dashboard," which
[00:01:01.380]contains various menu options.
[00:01:03.000]Here, you can navigate to
[00:01:04.910]sections like overview,
[00:01:07.010]announcements, equipment, login
[00:01:09.330]and security, and others.
[00:01:11.000]You'll also find an
[00:01:12.290]accommodations section where
[00:01:14.220]you can access options like
[00:01:15.320]list requests and alternative
[00:01:17.230]testing.
[00:01:18.000]Your access is unique to you,
[00:01:20.000]so you will only see
[00:01:21.160]accommodations that you are
[00:01:22.950]approved for.
[00:01:24.000]Toward the middle of the
[00:01:25.340]dashboard,
[00:01:26.000]you'll see two primary sections.
[00:01:28.000]On the left under "Accommodation
[00:01:29.990]Requests Term"
[00:01:31.000]is a box that displays the
[00:01:32.110]number of requests for the term
[00:01:34.000]along with a number in large
[00:01:35.680]font indicating the total
[00:01:37.010]number of requests already
[00:01:38.320]completed.
[00:01:39.000]Note that the term and year,
[00:01:43.000]such as Summer 2025,
[00:01:43.000]will adjust automatically based
[00:01:44.630]on the current semester.
[00:01:46.000]Below is an option labeled "Add
[00:01:48.190]Requests" for the remaining
[00:01:49.900]number of classes.
[00:01:51.000]This number will also adjust
[00:01:52.270]automatically based on the
[00:01:53.790]number of classes
[00:01:55.000]you can still request
[00:01:56.020]accommodations.
[00:01:57.000]To submit your accommodation
[00:01:58.850]request to faculty,
[00:02:00.000]click "Add Request for Classes."
[00:02:02.000]You will see a section titled "Accommodation
[00:02:04.220]Requests."
[00:02:05.000]Select all courses for which
[00:02:07.000]you would like to request
[00:02:08.110]accommodations.
[00:02:09.000]Similarly to how courses are
[00:02:10.440]displayed in Canvas or MyRED,
[00:02:12.000]the lecture, lab, and recitation
[00:02:13.650]component for each class may be
[00:02:15.450]listed as a separate course.
[00:02:17.000]Check all the classes you would
[00:02:18.580]like accommodations in.
[00:02:20.000]If you would like to request
[00:02:21.480]identical accommodations for
[00:02:23.170]all your courses,
[00:02:24.000]you can check the box labeled "Apply
[00:02:26.230]the same accommodations to all
[00:02:27.400]selected courses."
[00:02:29.000]Then, click the button labeled
[00:02:31.400]"Continue to Next Step."
[00:02:33.000]Continue to customize your
[00:02:34.730]accommodations.
[00:02:36.000]On this page, use the checkboxes
[00:02:38.000]to customize which
[00:02:39.260]accommodations
[00:02:40.000]you would like to use for each
[00:02:41.480]class.
[00:02:42.000]When finished, read the terms
[00:02:43.970]and conditions above the "Submit
[00:02:45.910]Request" button.
[00:02:47.000]Finally, click "Submit Request"
[00:02:49.020]to finalize your accommodation
[00:02:50.530]request.
[00:02:51.000]A green checkmark will appear
[00:02:53.000]with the message,
[00:02:53.000]that your request was submitted
[00:02:56.190]successfully.
[00:02:58.000]This system will email your
[00:02:59.510]letters to both you and your
[00:03:00.850]instructor shortly.
[00:03:02.000]If you are doing this before
[00:03:03.070]the semester starts,
[00:03:04.000]we hold the letters until two
[00:03:05.600]days prior to the start of the
[00:03:07.190]semester.
[00:03:08.000]Now that your letters have been
[00:03:09.610]sent,
[00:03:10.000]be sure to discuss your
[00:03:10.940]accommodation requests with
[00:03:12.140]relevant faculty and staff,
[00:03:13.000]and complete any remaining
[00:03:14.480]accommodation procedures as
[00:03:16.190]described on our website.
[00:03:18.000]Please contact SSD with any
[00:03:20.020]questions or concerns.
[00:03:22.000]On your dashboard, if you would
[00:03:23.610]like to download a PDF copy
[00:03:25.000]of your course accessibility
[00:03:26.910]letters,
[00:03:27.000]you can do this by clicking on
[00:03:28.440]the course from the "Overview"
[00:03:29.680]page.
[00:03:30.000]Then, select "Generate PDF"
[00:03:31.910]under "Available Actions."
[00:03:34.000]You can review your
[00:03:34.710]accommodations for each course
[00:03:36.010]by clicking on the course
[00:03:37.000]from the "Overview" page and
[00:03:39.130]navigating to the "Accommodations"
[00:03:40.490]section.
[00:03:41.000]You can check or uncheck boxes
[00:03:43.000]for any accommodations you
[00:03:44.130]would like to change.
[00:03:45.000]Then, click "Update" and
[00:03:46.650]request to submit those changes.
[00:03:49.000]You may also click the "Cancel
[00:03:50.250]Request" button
[00:03:51.000]if you no longer need
[00:03:52.010]accommodations in a specific
[00:03:53.450]course.
[00:03:54.000]Please note, if you did not
[00:03:55.520]originally request extended
[00:03:57.660]time on exams
[00:03:58.000]and modify that request to
[00:03:59.420]include it,
[00:04:00.000]please also contact the SSD
[00:04:01.290]Testing Center to ensure that
[00:04:03.250]your extended time
[00:04:04.000]has been added to any exams
[00:04:05.230]that have already been
[00:04:06.320]scheduled.
[00:04:07.000]If you have any additional
[00:04:08.390]questions or would like to meet
[00:04:09.790]with a disability specialist,
[00:04:11.000]please contact SSD.
[00:04:13.000]Now we're done.
