South Dakota State University has implemented a new accommodation management platform called Accommodate. Your Accommodate portal will house all information about your students’ accommodations. Please follow the step-by-step instructions below to access and navigate your Accommodate portal.
- Log-in to Accommodate here: https://sdstate-accommodate.symplicity.com/ and select “Faculty”
- After you log-in you will arrive in the “Home” section.
- To view a student’s accommodation letter, select “Accommodation Letters.” Select the letter that you wish to view. If your signature is requested, “Requested” will appear in a black rectangle next to the letter. Once a letter is signed, the text will indicate “signed.”
- Once the letter is open, you have the option to print or generate a PDF of the accommodation letter. You may want to do this if you need to share the accommodation letter with other instructors or assistants working with your course. Only the primary instructor receives the accommodation letter. You will always be able to access your accommodation letters within Accommodate, so it is not necessary to print or generate a PDF unless you choose to do so or need to share with additional course instructors or assistants. The first time you open an accommodation letter your signature is requested. Please complete the form as indicated and “SAVE.”
- To view a list of students enrolled in your course with accommodations, select “Courses.” Select the course you wish to view. Here you can view course details, enrolled students, or course notes.
- Once on the “Courses” screen, select the course you want to view. To view enrolled students with accommodations, select “Enrolled Students” and then select “More Filters.” Select “Yes” under “Approved Accommodations” for this course to view only students who are approved for accommodations in this course.
