Why does my portal account show as Inactive?

Need assistance? Contact ODS and we will help determine why your account is inactive and what steps are needed to regain access.

If you receive a message indicating that your ODS Online Portal account is Inactive, it is usually due to the one of the following:

  1. Your application was archived. You may have submitted an ODS application but have not yet uploaded documentation or met with an Accommodations Specialist, so your application was archived. Contact ODS at 205-348-4285 or ods@ua.edu for assistance. Do not attempt to submit a new application.
  2. Your ODS registration is Inactive. If you have not requested accommodations through ODS in more than one year, your profile may have been deactivated. Contact ODS at 205-348-4285 or ods@ua.edu for assistance. You may be advised to schedule an appointment with your Accommodations Specialist.
