Please note that you MUST request a new Faculty Accommodation Letter (FAL) each semester for every class you need accommodations in. FALs are dated and a letter from Summer 2025 or earlier will not be accepted for fall classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In previous semesters, after you requested your FAL, the letter was sent to you directly and you were responsible for sharing your FAL with faculty members. As started in Fall 2025, when you request your letter it will be sent directly to your faculty by DAS. If you add or swap classes, please contact us at <\/span>access@bu.edu<\/span><\/a> to request an additional letter for this new course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to request your letter:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Please submit your semester request as soon as possible. In the coming days, we will be sending out FALs in the order they are received.

The sooner we receive your request, the sooner your academic accommodations can be implemented!<\/span><\/p>\n
