Registration Process

The Centre for Accessible Learning is the central contact point for students with a disability at TWU. The Centre also works with students at post-secondary institutions directly affiliated with TWU who are taking TWU courses.

Students with a disability who would like guidance in creating a Learning Support Plan, wish to determine their eligibility for academic accommodations, or are requesting disability-related provincial/federal supports, can follow this process to register with the Centre:

• Locate current documentation of your disability from a provider who is qualified to diagnose the disability.
• Reflect on the academic impacts of your disability and current strategies, and submit this information and documentation of your disability via the Centre for Accessible Learning Summary of Academic Impact form.
• After receiving your information, our office will arrange the first in a series of meetings to discuss academic impacts, review current learning strategies, and develop and implement a Learning Support Plan.
• Post-secondary students who are Canadian residents can determine if they are eligible for disability-specific provincial or federal supports.

We strongly encourage students to start the registration process once they have confirmed their enrolment at TWU, months in advance of their first semester. Student registrations with the Centre for Accessible Learning occur throughout the summer prior to the start of the academic year each September. The beginning of May is the recommended time to begin this process.
