How to register as a student with a disability?

All students are given the opportunity, on the Student Enrolment form, to indicate if they have a disability/medical condition, and it is this early indicator that is the catalyst of the more formal Disability/Medical Condition Special Needs Form (SNF) being sent to the student by Student Assist. Students are required to complete a Disability/Medical Condition Special Needs Form annually. A student must return the completed SNF to Student Assist prior to any reasonable accommodations being made. Being a registered student does not necessarily mean that at the time of registering the student requires immediate assistance, in fact, a student may only require assistance during an examination period or a residential school. All students requesting either short or long term assistance must return a completed SNF to Student assist annually making sure that the section from the Medical Practitioner/Registered Health Professional is fully completed. No assistance will be afforded the student until all appropriate documentation has been received.
