Welcome
The SEC operates under the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Services are provided for students with documented disabilities. Accommodation supports include but are not limited to:
- Adaptive technology training;
- Alternate format course material;
- Learning skills support;
- Testing support; and
- Transition support for incoming students.
Students are encouraged to contact us as soon as they are accepted to UOIT to schedule an intake appointment. By scheduling your appointment well in advance of the start of your first term, we can assess and implement your accommodations in a timely manner.
In the event that a student discovers they require disability support after starting their program, our team is here to assist.
Accommodations are made without compromising the key components of the program. Students registered with the SEC adhere to the same academic standards as all other students in the program. Accommodations are put into place to provide equal access to educational opportunities, rather than to give anyone an advantage over others.
Students who are enrolled in the Faculty of Education or the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities are located at the downtown campus and are serviced by:
