Semester Requests

A semester request is an important task all students registered with LSS must complete each semester after registering with LSS. The request confirms to LSS that the student would like to continue their accommodations and apply approved accommodations to their current semester’s courses.

It is the student’s responsibility to complete a Semester Request each semester enrolled at 十大彩票网赌平台. LSS is not responsible for student’s who do not complete a Semester Request in a timely manner.
