Accessibility

For upper-year students requesting academic accommodations and for all students requesting accommodation in the case of long-term illness,  please contact the Student Accessibility Centre, (located on Dalhousie’s campus). The Accessibility Centre will then inform the instructors for each of the student’s classes, about their particular academic needs.
