Students with disabilities
If you have a disability and want to learn about accommodations, please let us know when you apply. Accessibility Services will contact you to talk about your needs and any funding options.
It’s best to register with Accessibility Services early so we have enough time to set up supports. We recommend signing up at least three months before your program starts. In rare cases, if you apply late or need more complex supports, your program start date may need to be moved.
For more information visit Accessibility services.
