Support Services for Students with Disabilities
The office is geared to support learning difficulties due to dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADD/ADHD, high functioning autism as well as difficulties related to blindness, deafness, and mobility. It strives to integrate students with disabilities as holistically as possible into the university experience. Through an interactive process, the office works individually with each student to provide access to university classes, programs, and activities.
It should be noted that the mere disclosure/diagnosis of a disability does not automatically entitle a student to receive disability-related accommodations. Each student needs to request learning support for their specific condition and the office will make its best efforts to extend as much support as possible for each course. There is no financial impact on students for receiving the required learning support. We encourage students to identify factors that can help them in managing their learning outcomes despite their difficulties and gain self-advocacy skills to support their needs.
