Academic Accommodations

Factors that are considered when determining appropriate and reasonable accommodations are:

• Documentation and recommendations from specialists who are qualified to diagnose the disability
• Historical information about previous accommodations
• Need as reported by the student
• Course and program requirements

TWU’s Centre for Accessible Learning works on a model of self-advocacy. Students with disabilities are not required to register with the Centre for Accessible Learning. In respecting student choice, we understand that students who do not self-identify have elected not to pursue academic accommodations.

Confidentiality

Documentation about student disabilities is confidential. Information about a student’s disability is only released to other TWU staff or faculty employees on a need-to-know basis, in accordance with TWU’s Privacy Policy, governed by the Registrar’s Office.
