You might be eligible for exam accommodations. Follow these steps to find out if you're eligible for accommodations and schedule your exam.
Find out if you're eligible
You will need to meet with an accessibility coordinator to find out if you're eligible for exam accommodations.
To schedule an appointment for any campus, please call 1 (888) 953-1133 and ask for the Welcome Centre or email us to request an appointment.
At this meeting, an accessibility coordinator will review your documentation of disability and discuss your eligibility for academic accommodations, including potential exam accommodations.
Once an accommodation plan has been confirmed, you will receive a letter of academic accommodation.
Schedule your quiz, test or exam
The process for booking your exam depends on the campus you are on and the type of exam you are writing.
