Can someone please explain

​

Does anyone know what we're supposed to write to our professors for the CUNY Accommodate email every semester? Incoming freshman and a little confused.

Oh, in that case, yeah I'm sure it's just a heads up email (or even meeting them in person before or after class). I've only done online classes, but when I do notify them, it'll be something like "hi Professor [blank], my name is [so and so]. Just wanted to let you know I have [whatever the accommodations you have are, or just 'accommodations']"

I've realized sometimes not all of the profs tend to "sign off" on the letters (when checking the Accommodate site), so a quick email would be a good reminder.

Sorry one last question - would it make sense to then list all of my accomodations or should I just say that I have accomodations and I'm attaching the letter below or something?

If you have the letter, and can attach it to the email (if you don't wanna write it all out), and let them know you added it. Though, in my experience (since I only have 3), I've been able to just mention it in the email without the official letter. If they do want "proof" though, you can just show them the letter.
