Step 5: Academic Resources

Between your University ID number, your AccessPlus account, and your Net-ID, you have access to a variety of resources as an Iowa State student. Be sure to familiarize yourself with some of the resources below to make the most of your online adventure!

Student Disability Resources

http://www.sdr.dso.iastate.edu/

Iowa State University is committed to assuring that all educational activities are free from discrimination and harassment based on disability status. All students requesting accommodations are required to meet with staff in Student Disability Resources (SDR) to establish eligibility.  A Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) form will be provided to eligible students. The provision of reasonable accommodations in this course will be arranged after timely delivery of the SAAR form to the instructor.  Students are encouraged to deliver completed SAAR forms as early in the semester as possible. Contact SDR by e-mail at disabilityresources@iastate.edu or by phone at 515-294-7220 for additional information. 

Directory Information

http://www.info.iastate.edu/

The university directory is the first stop to find contact information for anyone associated with the university, including faculty, staff, and other students. Once you're a student, your info will be there as well. If you want to change the information that's displayed on the directory, it can be edited in AccessPlus.

Parks Library
