WHAT IS ACCOMMODATION?

Academic accommodation relates to the student’s learning and evaluation in an academic program or particular class. Non-academic accommodation relates to university activities and services that are not otherwise considered academic accommodation.

Requests for academic accommodation relating to classroom participation and class evaluation should be made prior to each academic term so that accommodations can be put in place when needed.


 REQUEST FOR ACCOMMODATION

Students are responsible for requesting accommodations as early as possible in the semester, preferably prior to the academic term.  All requests are to be put in writing on Accommodation Request -  Form A.
    
If this is your first time requesting accommodations, you must make an appointment with Jodi LeBlanc, Coordinator of Accessibility Services. You will be required to provide documentation of your learning disability in the form of a psycho-educational assessment.  Students must discuss how the reason for their request is impacting their academic experience at the university. Students will discuss the recommendations with the coordinator and together, draw up an accommodation plan to be kept on file at the Webster Center.

Once a student receives supports from Accessibility Services, a new request  for accommodation must be made each semester - Form A.

Accommodation plans are reviewed with students each semester to determine whether the current accommodations are.
