Curriculum Timetable Adjustments
The curriculum can be adapted (e.g. extended, split up, or skipped for a year) in coordination with academic advisors. Attendance waivers can be granted and report deadlines can be extended.
Note Taking
The university will financially compensate another student in the same class as the disabled or sick student to take notes for them. The Disability Services office also offers a free photocopy card.
Academic Support
Academic support can be provided by a student at a higher level (2 hours a week on average). This can be done at the university or at the student's home.
Technical Aid
Various devices are available on loan, including a braille block, a notebook computer, a reading machine, specific software programs (Antidote, Dragon, Jaws, etc.) and more.
Test Arrangements
Extra Time
Additional writing time can be granted, on a case-by-case basis, for written and/or oral exams. This extra time may be applied to continued testing sessions and final exams.
Adapted Exams
For visually impaired students, exams can be digitized or enlarged by the academic department. For deaf students, oral exams may be converted into written exams, or an LSF interpreter may be provided.
Secretarial Services
If you are unable to write manually, you may use a secretary to draft a copy dictated by you. The secretary will be at the same level or higher than the degree being completed, and they will be hired by your academic department. You will write in a designated room.
Technical Aid
A braille block, notebook computer, printer, or adapted software can be made available.
