Disability Support Services

Disability Support Services (DSS) at GW recognizes disability in the context of diversity. We work collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff across the campus to foster a climate of universal academic excellence while promoting disability culture and GW’s broader diversity and inclusion initiatives. 

The  Letter to Professors

As a new semester begins, we would like to remind students that they need to request a new  Letter to Professors for classes they would like to use accommodations. It's very important for students who have accommodations to request a new digital letter at the beginning of every semester as they enroll in new classes and meet with their professors and co-instructors. Even if your accommodations have not changed or you have worked with a professor or co-instructor previously, students are responsible for notifying instructors of any need for accommodations using an up-to-date Letter to Professors each semester. 

If you do encounter an error message while trying to request your letter, it may be a browser issue and we provide the following troubleshooting instructions to assist. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact us at our main email address [email protected] and we will connect with our IT support. You can also locate the the link to the Letter to Professors on our website.
