NIMAC 2.0 for AMPs
Using NIMAC 2.0:
The State Coordinator Portal
What is a NIMAC State Coordinator (SC)?
• Each State or Outlying Area that “opts into”
the NIMAC designates an SC.
• This person opts into the NIMAC on behalf of
the entire state, regardless of whether the
state is an open territory or adoption state.
• The NIMAC SC is responsible for designating
and managing the Authorized Users of the
NIMAC for that State.
What does it mean to “coordinate”
with the NIMAC?
• States agree to require publishers to submit
NIMAS files to the NIMAC at the point of
purchasing print books.
• These files can then be accessed by
designated AUs so that accessible formats can
be produced on behalf of eligible students.
• Coordinating States and OAs agree to abide by
the limitations set forth in IDEA 2004
regarding NIMAS eligibility.
How Do I Become a NIMAC
State Coordinator?
• In order to coordinate on behalf of your State
or OA, you must sign a NIMAC Coordination
Agreement and mail it to the NIMAC.
• The NIMAC will then establish an account for
you.
• The NIMAC Coordination Agreement can be
found on the Authorized Users & State
Coordinators page of our web site:
http://www.nimac.us/authorized.html
Logging into the System
• Once you have received your login ID and
password, just go to the NIMAC web site:
www.nimac.us.
• Click on the box “Enter NIMAC Repository.”
• From there, choose the link to Log into the
system.

Adding Authorized Users
• Once you have entered a registration for a
new AU, you will see the registration under
Pending Authorized Users.
• When you click “Submit, the person will
automatically receive an email containing the
NIMAC Limitation of User Agreement (LUA).
• The pending AU will sign the agreement and
mail it to the NIMAC.
Adding Authorized Users
• Please ensure that the email address entered
is correct so that they will receive the LUA.
• If there is an immediate need for the new AU
to access files, we can activate the new
account upon receipt of a faxed LUA, while we
await the arrival of the mailed hard copy.
• Our fax number is 502-899-2363.
• Once the account is activated, it will display
under Active Authorized Users.

Final Note on AU Accounts
• AU accounts are established for a specific
individual, not the agency as a whole.
• You are welcome to establish multiple
accounts for persons at the same agency, if
needed.
• If an Authorized User at a given agency is no
longer serving that role, and you wish to
designate a new user at the same
organization, you will need to enter a new
registration and delete the old user.
Manage Your Account
Manage Your Account
• This option allows you to edit your email
address, password, or security question.
• NIMAC encourages all users to change your
password from the system generated
password the first time you log in.
• Just make any needed change and click
“Update.”
• The system will confirm the updates.

• The page also has the option to edit your
name, in the event that your name changes.
• However, we ask that you not use this edit
option to transfer the NIMAC Coordinator role

will make the needed changes in the system.
