Using the Disability Services Instructor Portal

This article provides instructions on how to faculty can use the Disability Services Instructor Portal to access accommodation information at Idaho State University (ISU).

The ISU Disability Services Instructor Portal is used by faculty to view student accommodations and manage exams. To log into the portal:

1. Access the Instructor Portal via the Disability Services website or from the direct link within the faculty notification email/letter from Disability Services.
2. Read and acknowledge the FERPA agreement.
3. Access the Instructor Overview Page where instructors can:
   1. See all students with accommodations who are enrolled in their courses
   2. View the main accommodations requested
   3. Indicate that they have read the faculty notification letter/email. This only updates if read through the Instructor Portal, not via email.
4. There is an optional section that lists students who have registered with disability services but have not requested accommodations.

• The instructor portal has a Session Extender available that will add 30 minutes to the session. A warning will be displayed when 2 minutes are remaining in the session.
• General announcements created by the Disability Services staff will display when available.
• If a course has specific notes that apply only to it, they will display in the Course Notes. Not all courses will have Notes.
• In the Students Who Requested Accommodations section, select Refine Search. Searches can be performed by subject, course number, course section, and/or student last or preferred name. Note: This will only search information available to the instructor - not the entire database.
