The Access Centre

IMPORTANT: Launched earlier this fall, we now electronically sign PDF versions of students' Accommodation Form for Professors and send it directly to his/her Rmail. The student then emails the note and attached PDF form to each professor/instructor in whose class he/she seeks accommodation.

The new procedure will streamline the process, improve confidentiality, and give faculty and students quick and ready access to this important document.

As we transition to this new process, we are experiencing a delay in sending forms out. Please work with your student(s) and the Access Centre to problem-solve as needed.

Thank you for your continued work with us.

It is important to us that you feel supported and know where to find answers or suggestions to any questions/concerns you might have. Throughout the year, here's where you can find support:
