What to Expect when Meeting with a Coordinator

Welcome Meetings are when our accessibility coordinators collect information about your experiences and needs to help guide you in the accommodation process.

During your welcome meeting, you will meet with an Accessibility Coordinator who is dedicated to understanding your unique experiences and ensuring your access at Iowa State. The coordinator will ask in-depth questions about your diagnosis, including its history, how it impacts you in your daily life, and any barriers you may face in accessing educational or campus resources. They will also explore your history of accommodations or disability support, if applicable, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs. 

During this meeting, you and the coordinator will collaborate to identify potential accommodations and discuss any required documentation. Additionally, our coordinators are committed to providing a supportive environment and will work with you to explore the best options to support you at ISU. If we identify areas where additional resources could be beneficial, we will refer you to other services or offices, ensuring you have access to the full range of supports available at Iowa State.

What you can do to prepare for your Welcome Meeting:

• Collect copies of your current documentation and send the documents to us if you have it (See Step 3 for more information!)
• Think of questions or concerns to discuss with your coordinator

What comes after the Welcome Meeting:

• You will receive a follow-up email sent to your ISU email address with everything discussed in the meeting, including the next steps, resources, and accommodations we discussed
