Inclusion in the Classroom

Academic Accommodations

(QSAS) works with students with disabilities to develop comprehensive accommodation plans that help ensure full access to education. Accommodation planning is a collaborative effort between the student, faculty member, and the QSAS advisor to find the most effective, efficient, and equitable solutions.

The Start-UP Transition Support Service for students with disabilities provides first year students who are registered with QSAS the opportunity to receive individualized support on any aspect of their transition to university.

Extenuating Circumstances

We recognize that students may have extenuating circumstances that temporarily affect their ability to fulfill their academic obligations. The Academic Considerations for Students in Extenuating Circumstances Policy ensures academic considerations are provided to students who experience challenging personal circumstances including, but not limited to, bereavement, serious injury, or family crisis.
