Together, you and the AS Advisor will determine the accommodation needs most relevant to your current situation. The AS Advisor will be able to address any questions or concerns you may have about registering and accessing your accommodations.
Keep us informed!
Let AS staff know of any difficulties you may be having. We also need to know of any changes that take place (i.e. course changes, updates to your personal information such as telephone number or email address).
All information is kept confidential.

Your health practitioner must explain the nature of your disability, mental health concern or medical condition by filling out the Medical Documentation Request form including functional limitations and accommodations related to post-secondary.
If you have a learning disability, you can provide AS with a copy of your psycho-educational report.
If you have a temporary injury, we will require a doctor’s note stating the date of injury, nature of injury and an approximate recovery time.
