The Access Adviser utilizes a coaching model to assist students with persistence, retention and achievement goals for DAS and the institution. The Access Adviser is an integral member of the Documentation Review Team and the Housing Documentation Review Team, assisting with ensuring the process is consistent and timely. The DAS Assistant Director will support the Access Adviser and also review any determinations that prompt further consideration. Team members are in frequent contact with faculty/staff to ensure accommodations are reasonable and implemented appropriately for eligible DAS students.

Key Responsibilities:

• Director Student Support: Serves as a remote access adviser supporting all DAS students, including Corvallis, OSU-Cascades, and Ecampus students, conducting intake interviews and providing ongoing support to students.
