Medical Accommodation During the Term

A student may wish to request accommodation with respect to deliverables required for a course, from an instructor during the term, for health reasons.

• For a graduate student taking a 500-level course or lower in our faculty, procedure is as per: Macdonald Campus Medical Notes
  • Medical accommodation request form with medical note is submitted to Macdonald Student Affairs Office.
  • Procedure will vary for courses taken in other faculties. Please consult the Student Affairs Office for that faculty.

• For a graduate student taking a 600-level course, accommodation arrangements are to be made between the instructor and the student. A doctor鈥檚 note or other appropriate supporting document may be required. The student would present this to the instructor. If confidentiality is an issue, in certain cases the student can register temporarily with the 不良研究所 Office for Student Accessibility and Achievement who can then help facilitate accommodations with the instructor. The goal is for the instructor and the student to find a way to allow the student to complete the course requirements before the end of the term.
