Accommodation letters

Students are responsible for sharing their accommodation letters with you, so that you can provide appropriate adjustments in the classroom and in assessments.

The letter will outline the accommodations the student is eligible for as part of a plan developed with an accessible learning advisor.

• If you have any questions or concerns about a student’s accommodation, contact the student’s advisor as listed on the letter.
• All people listed as instructors for a course receive notification emails and access to letters.
