Mission & Values

Remember to Submit Your Accommodations!

Please remember to submit your accommodation letters to your instructors through Clockwork in MyPortal. This step is essential—it notifies your instructors of your approved accommodations and ensures they can put the necessary supports in place as early as possible. Submitting your letters each quarter helps you receive timely access to the resources you need to succeed.
