Academic accommodations
An academic accommodation is a modification or
extension of university resources, or of teaching or evaluation
procedures, which is designed to accommodate the particular needs
of a student with a disability without compromising academic
integrity of the course, program, or assignment. This means that a
student who is given reasonable accommodation must be able to
demonstrate acquisition of the body of knowledge or the skill
normally required for passing a course and/or completing an
academic program as determined by the academic unit subject to all
university regulations.
All requests for accommodation (e.g., additional time to write a test) must be based on documented need. It is the responsibility of the individual requesting an academic accommodation to provide the necessary documentation to the Blundon Centre.
Accommodations are assessed on an individual basis. For further information refer to:
