Policies and Procedures
Our work with students with disabilities at Laurier is guided by the following University policies and procedures. Please contact any member of the Accessible Learning Leadership Team if you have any questions about how these policies and procedures apply to you.
Statement of Confidentality
This statement explains the kind of information that Accessible Learning collects when working with students with disabilities, who can access this information and for what purposes, and how we store and delete this information over time.
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.
