We Will Get Through This Together! As a student who is new to DSPS or Hartnell, students need to complete the registration and intake process with a DSPS counselor, before eligibility for accommodations and services can begin.
Steps to Register with DSPS
Complete the DSPS Application for Services online form, and click on "Submit" after completing the form. Please ensure you are listing your most up-to-date phone (preferably cell) number and Hartnell student email address on the form.
Have your medical professional complete the Verification of Disability and submit to DSPS via email or through the electronic submission process. Please note, the license number of the medical professional needs to be listed on the form.
- Complete the DSPS Consent to Release Information – On Campus online form and click on "Submit" after completing the form.
- Complete the DSPS Consent to Release Information – External/Off Campus online form and click on "Submit" after completing the form.
- Complete the Policies and Procedures Online form and click on "Submit" after completing the form. Discussion of the DSPS Policies and Procedures will occur in your meeting with a DSPS counselor.
Request an appointment with a DSPS Counselor by completing a DSPS Student Appointment Request online form and click on "Submit" after completing the form.
Once students are eligible for alternative media/alternative formats from a DSPS counselor, students need to complete the Alternative Media Request Form for all district classrooms and activities.
What to Expect After Accommodations are Established
Once student accommodations are established, the counselor/specialist will communicate accommodations to instructors. Students are responsible for self-advocating. If accommodations are not being provided, please reach out to DSPS office.
