Accommodation Plan

Your accommodation plan is an individualized support plan based on your needs and designed to help you meet the requirements of your academic program. When you register with Accessibility Services, you will be asked to complete the Accessibility Intake Form and book an Accessibility Assessment appointment to develop your accommodation plan. 

Accommodations can help you with:

  • Note-Taking
  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Test-Taking
  • any other tasks related to your learning outcomes

To modify your existing accommodation plan, you need to meet with an Accessibility Advisor.
