DRC registered students use AIM to generate the Accommodation Notice each semester and schedule exams in the DRC Testing Center.
AIM is a secure and confidential site where faculty and staff, who are course instructors, can log-in using their NETID and password to access services such as viewing student accommodation forms, completing Alternative Testing Agreements for exam arrangements and more! Faculty Login.
DRC registered students use AIM to generate the Accommodation Notice each semester and schedule exam requests for the DRC Testing Center (Cole Hall, Room 332). Student Login.
