Resources for Students New to DASS

New to SMU or DASS?

Students who have never applied for DASS services usually have a lot of questions and concerns about our office and the accommodation process. Whether you are a prospective SMU student in high school or at another college or university, a matriculating first year or transfer student, or a current SMU student unaffiliated with DASS, we are here to help!

A Good Place to Start

Since the process to apply for DASS services is the same for all students, these three resources will be helpful for anyone wanting to learn more.

 

  • Applying, Accommodations, and Documentation

    Information about applying for DASS services, types of accommodations, and disability-related documentation can be found on that section of our site.

  • The Red and Blue Flyer

    DASS's Red and Blue Flyer is a great 1-sheet that outlines both the Disability Accommodations and the Success Strategies parts of our office.

  • Roles and Responsibilities

    It is important to understand your roles, rights, and responsibilities, but also those of the university, the DASS office, and SMU faculty.
