How do I disclose my disability to my professors to get accommodations?

If you choose to disclose to your professors and receive accommodations, Disabled Student Development (DSD) will provide you a letter to give to your professors. This letter will state that DSD has reviewed documentation relative to your disability and will list the appropriate accommodations. When giving this letter to your professors, you should plan to meet with them and discuss what will need to be done to receive these accommodations. It is your responsibility to initiate this process and to give the letter to your professors.
