Registering for Assistance
Students are able to register their disability on the enrolment form; access to this information is VERY RESTRICTED.
Prospective students are encouraged to advise us of their disability prior to enrolment, so that the university can plan to meet their needs and make the transition to University as easy as possible.
Special examination conditions: Students can also request alternate examination conditions - please contact the Equity, Diversity and Disability Office for more information.
