Student Disability Services (SDS) would like to know more about your needs. Please begin the SDS student intake process by completing this form.
Please note that relaying the details of your disability via this form (i.e., disability type or accommodation history) is not required in order for you to begin the SDS registration process.
Given the following options, how would you categorize the nature of the disability or disabilities for which you are seeking accommodation? You may select more than one disability type.
I understand that the submission of this confidential Self- ID form is only the first step in notifying The New School of my disability-related needs. The next steps are to make an appointment with SDS and provide supporting documentation. Appointments are made through your Starfish account and documentation guidelines can be found on the main SDS Website.
This is not a request for housing. You are still responsible for completing an application for housing. Consult Student Housing and Residential Education for specific information about residence halls and application deadlines.
