Students with learning and/or physical disabilities may be eligible for accommodations regarding exams. This may include being given extra time, access to special exam-taking software (to address sight impairment), etc. Students requiring accommodations due to disabilities must work with Accessibility Services.

Fill out as much of the form as you can. You can discuss your needs further when you meet with your Disability Counsellor.
Step 2:
Attach any documentation you have that provides information about your disability and accommodation needs. Each Registration Package contains the documentation requirements for the disability you have identified. As documentation requirements vary by disability, it’s important to review this information. The disability counsellor will review the documentation with you during the intake appointment and advise you about whether the documentation is sufficient, needs updating or whether additional information is needed.
If you do not have documentation or are unsure about documentation needs you can call/visit our front desk or make an appointment to consult with a disability counsellor.
