Getting Started with ADS
We highly encourage students to initiate the process for registering with the ADS Office as early as possible after enrolling at the university. Students can register with ADS at any time during their academic career; however, accommodations are not retroactive.
Please allow for up to two (2) weeks for staff to review new applications and to schedule new student intake appointments. During high-volume periods, such as the start of the semester, the response time may take longer.
How to Register
- Submit an ADS application.
- Upload documentation of your disability.
- Have questions about documentation? Review our documentation guidelines.
- Participate in an intake meeting with an ADS Specialist.
What to Expect During an Intake Meeting
- An ADS Specialist will contact you via your TU email to schedule an intake meeting.
- During the meeting, we will discuss the following:
- Impact of your disability
- History of using accommodations
- Requested accommodations
- Approved accommodations
- How to use accommodations
- You will have the opportunity to schedule follow-up meetings with your specialist throughout your time at Towson.
