Clark student accounts Set Up for New Students
New Clark students need to set up two accounts before their accommodations can be active and as part of the DSS process. We recommend students trying to set these up before their intake appointment. Here is Clark's Tech Hub websites showing how students set these up:
How to set up your Clark Labs Account or reset the password: https://www.clark.edu/its/documentation-and-resources/students/setup.php. *Students need to set up their Student ID number first and then they can set up Clark Lab Account.
