We are thrilled to announce that SAS has migrated to an online system called the SAS Portal to manage the student accommodation process. With the SAS Portal, we anticipate the process will be more efficient and manageable for students, faculty, and SAS staff.

Instead of emailing an accommodation letter to your professors, you will simply log in to the portal to request that your semester accommodation letter be sent to your professors. 

Your academic accommodations for the current or upcoming semester will not be active until you request your semester letter in the SAS Portal. Accommodations are not retroactive, so it is in your best interest to submit your request at the start of the semester. 

Please complete the Public Form to initiate the request process.

Although your approved accommodations will be available throughout your time at Emerson, each semester you will need to request your semester accommodation letters.

To Request Your Semester Academic Accommodation Letter

Step 1:

Access the SAS Portal

Select “Student

Use your Emerson credentials to login. 

Note: Screen reader users can toggle on Accessibility Mode by clicking the View Options button in the upper left corner of the screen.

Step 2:

Select Accommodations > Semester Request.

Step 4:

Choose Submit for All to request accommodation letters for all of your courses or select Review the Renewal if you want only specific accommodations for specific courses. 

Step 5:

When your SAS staff member is able to review and confirm the accommodations, the letter will be activated for your professors to view in the portal. You will also receive a copy of the letter.

Please reach out with any questions, as we recognize this is a new process. If you wish to discuss your accommodations, you should reach out to your SAS staff member. We're happy to help guide you through the steps.

NOTE: If you make any changes to your schedule after submitting the Semester Request, please contact your SAS staff member so a letter can be published for your new classes.
