ACCESS AND SUPPORT CENTRE (ASC) REGISTRATION STEPS

The ASC supports students who require academic accommodations due to all protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC).

This includes:

Disability/Exceptionality: Including learning disability/neurodiversity, mental health, medical, physical, deaf/hard of hearing and blind/low vision
Creed: Religious, spiritual or sincerely held belief system
Family status: Responsibilities involving family caregiving or dependents

We encourage you to complete these steps as soon as you have accepted your Offer of Admission or are already enrolled in courses. You can connect with the ASC anytime throughout your academic journey.

Step 1: Complete the Initial Form

Complete our ASC Student Information Form. You can do that by downloading and completing the form listed below:

Step 3: Gather Your Documents (For Disability, Exceptionalities, or Mental Health)

If it is disability, exceptionalities, or mental Health related obtain your supporting documentation. Supporting documentation assists the ASC in understanding the impact of your exceptionality related to your course needs. Supporting documentation could include:

IEP with any listed assessment(s)
OSAP Disability Verification Form
Detailed Doctor’s Note
Audiogram
ASC Medical Form

Step 4: Submit Your Forms
Send your completed forms and documents to the ASC. You can submit them:

By email
By fax
In person

If you are not sure what to send or how to register, we can help you. Visit the contact page to get support.

After You Apply

Once your forms and documents are submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. Shortly after, ASC staff will contact you to book your intake appointment.

During your intake appointment, you will meet with a staff member to talk about the support you need. Together, you will review possible accommodations and create your Access Plan.

In college, your instructors/professors will not know you need accommodations unless they are notified. The ASC will share your Access Plan with your instructors/professors each semester by email, so they understand your learning needs.

If you have questions at any time, the ASC team is here to support you.
