BMAC Registration Steps for New Students

Students should review the California State University and BMAC Policies prior to submitting an application to register for BMAC services.

Step 1: Complete a BMAC Student Application. 

Step 2: Upload Supporting Documentation that specifies your disability, pregnancy-related diagnosis(es), or disability-related limitations/impacts.   

Some common examples of documentation include:  

• Signed letter from your doctor or therapist on letterhead  
• Medical Records  
• VA Disability Rating  
• Testing/Assessment Records for Learning Disabilities 
• Disability Verification Form (digital) or Disability Verification Form (printer friendly)  
• For guidance on the documentation required, review the BMAC Documentation Guidelines. 
• If you don’t have documentation, complete the BMAC application and indicate that you need help with your documentation. We can schedule you with a Case Manager for support.  

NOTE: If you have an observable disability, no documentation is needed.  

Step 3: Attend Your Welcome Meeting  

• Welcome Meetings are an Interactive Process between the student and BMAC Specialist. This will assist in the determination of reasonable accommodations, services, and resources. 
• Once we review your application and documentation, we will email you to schedule a Welcome Meeting to discuss accommodations. Welcome meeting options include face-to-face and Zoom modalities. 
• Your BMAC registration is not complete until after your Welcome Meeting.  
• If you don’t see an email regarding your application within 3 business days, check your junk mail folder. If you didn’t receive an email, contact us at bmac@csulb.edu or 562-985-5401. 

Note: Once you are registered with BMAC, you only need to renew accommodations each semester through the MyBMAC chiclet on the SSO portal.
