Accommodations
Accommodation reduces or removes barriers to your learning to ensure fair and equitable access to your classroom, testing or co-op/fieldwork environments.
Accommodation is introduced when a protected characteristic (as defined by聽)聽may place you at a disadvantage compared to other students who are not affected by a protected characteristic: e.g. (dis)ability. Accommodation does not provide an unfair advantage over other students as you are still expected to demonstrate that you鈥檝e met the learning outcomes for the course.聽
Meet with us聽if you have experienced or anticipate barriers in your learning, living, or co-op/fieldwork environments.
