Students seeking formal accommodation with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) need to follow this process:
- Incoming graduate students seeking accommodation should register with SAS in order to receive a formal accommodation. It is recommended incoming students register two months in advance of the start of term, (i.e. register July 1 for September 1 term start). Booking early is advisable.
- Following your appointment, you will receive a formal letter of accommodation from Student Accessibility Services. The Director of Graduate Studies will be copied on this letter.
- Immediately following your assessment with SAS you need to meet with your Program Director and/or Supervisor to determine your revised plan of study. This plan might include moving to part-time studies or another means of reduced course load.
- Request an appointment with the Director of Graduate Studies to share your revised plan of study and discuss options for tuition reduction, if applicable.
- Graduate Studies will send a revised offer of admission letter to you and adjust tuition and funding as indicated by the accommodated plan of study. Ideally your assessment is completed prior to the third week of your first term, which is when tuition is charged to student accounts. If the accommodation is assessed past week three of your first term and you are eligible for tuition reduction, your account with be credited when the accommodation has been formally assessed.
