DROP-IN TO RENEW ACCOMMODATIONS
If your currently approved accommodations are working well and you’d like to keep them as-is, you may choose our flexible drop-in renewal option!
To do so, please:
- Update preferences and sign permissions for this semester via the DAI Release Form
- Join us in the virtual DAI drop-in room (https://uri-edu.zoom.us/my/dai.dropins)
- Weekdays from 10am-12pm beginning on August 26th and running through September 26th (We will not be available on Labor Day, 9/1).
- NEW THIS SEMESTER!! Evening drop-in hours will be available on Mondays and Thursdays from 6-8 pm from September 8th through 25th.
- After September 26th, you will need to book an appointment with your case manager via Starfish.
ACCOMMODATION MEETINGS are still available if the drop-in times are inconvenient.
If you wish to discuss new accommodations, you are required to meet with your case manager directly. Please remember that DAI processes a high volume of meetings at the start of each semester, so same-day appointment requests are not available.
3 Step Accommodation Renewal Process:
- Make an appointment with your DAI case manager via Starfish
- If you are having trouble finding or booking appointments with DAI on Starfish, please email dai@uri.edu or call the office at 401/874-2098
- You must notify your case manager immediately if you need to reschedule.
- Complete a DAI Release Form every semester to update your preferences and permissions
- Meet with your case manager, and receive your updated accommodation letters!
TIME SENSITIVE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS can be brought to DAI’s weekday virtual drop-in: Monday- Friday from 2PM – 4PM EST https://rhody.webex.com/meet/DAI. Accommodation renewals are NOT processed during DAI’s regular afternoon drop-in hours.
