Appeals

Students concerned about decisions made by Accessible Learning employees regarding their academic accommodations or bursary applications are encouraged to speak directly with the employee or the employee's manager. The vast majority of student concerns are satisfactorily resolved through these informal conversations.

Accessible Learning is required by the Ontario Human Rights Commission to have a formal process by which students can appeal our decisions, especially with respect to the academic accommodations and bursary applications we approve. When students feel their concerns have not satisfactorily addressed through informal conversations, they can initiate the formal appeal procedures as outlined below.
