Accessibility Services registration & documentation requirements

Go to the Accessibility Services homepage

Students seeking test and exam accommodations for the winter 2021 exam period must submit complete student intake packages by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 10, 2021. Student intake packages received after the deadline will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for exceptional circumstances. Questions? Contact the front desk at 416-978-8060 or accessibility.services@utoronto.ca.

Accessibility Services supports students who experience difficulties affecting their learning in lectures, labs and/or tutorials through academic accommodations. Academic accommodations and services are individualized to each student and the learning needs of each course and program.

If you are experiencing difficulties that affect your learning and suspect you may have a disability, you may want to register with Accessibility Services.

Registration is a 3-step process

  1. Obtain required documentation
  2. Complete our online Student Intake Form
  3. Attend an intake appointment

See SERVICE DELIVERY below for details or visit Register with Accessibility Services.

You can register with Accessibility Services as soon as you have accepted your offer of admission to the University of Toronto using your UTORid or JOINid.

Students can register with Accessibility Services at any point during their studies. However, you must register by the appropriate deadlines to receive accommodations for the beginning of each semester and exam periods.

  • Eligibility

    Service Eligibility

    We encourage you to register with Accessibility Services if you:

    • are an undergraduate or graduate student taking courses on the St. George campus,
    • experience difficulties affecting your learning in lectures, labs or tutorials AND,
    • have a disability, or believe you may have a disability and identify with any of the disability categories below.

    A diagnosis of a disability is requested but not required for students to receive academic accommodations.

    If you are uncertain or suspect you have a disability or are in the process of obtaining documentation, we can review any difficulties you are experiencing with you, and if appropriate, suggest referrals for assessment.

    Accessibility Services does not provide services to diagnose disabilities.

    If you are registered with Accessibility Services at either the University of Toronto – Mississauga (UTM) or the University of Toronto – Scarborough (UTSC) and plan to take classes at the St. George campus with accommodations, you will need to complete a Transfer of Accommodations Form (PDF) with your accessibility advisor at your home campus. Your accessibility advisor will fax this form to our office.

  • Delivery

    Service Delivery

    Follow steps 1 – 3 to register with Accessibility Services for academic accommodations.

    Step 1: Obtain required documentation

    Obtain documentation of your disability. The required documentation depends on the nature of your specific disability or disabilities.  For most cases, required documentation will be the Certificate of Disability (PDF).

    Read the following sections to determine what documentation you will need in order to register:

    • Acquired brain injury or concussion
    • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
    • Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
    • Chronic health, mental health, sensory disabilities (including D/deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing) and physical disabilities
    • Learning disabilities
    • Temporary physical disability
    • Not sure if you have a disability?

    Step 2: Complete our online Student Intake Form

    Have your required documentation (e.g. the Certificate of Disability, recent medical documentation for concussions, brain injuries and/or temporary physical disabilities, or a psycho-educational or neuro-psychological assessment and any supplemental or additional documentation related to your disability) available in a scanned PDF or similar format before filling out the Student Intake Form.

    Set aside 30 minutes to complete the online Student Intake Form without interruption. Provide information in all required fields and when instructed attach your required documentation. NOTE: You will not be able to save and return to the form.

    If you are unsure of which documentation you need or require accommodations or assistance in completing the Intake Package, contact our front desk at accessibility.services@utoronto.ca or 416-978-8060.

    Step 3: Attend an Intake Appointment

    After you submit a complete Intake Package, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment with an accessibility advisor.

    The accessibility advisor will review your Intake Package and discuss any barriers or difficulties you have been experiencing in your academic progress to develop effective accommodations.
