Register with Accessibility Services

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.

The full process for registering with Accessibility Services is available on the Accessibility Services registration and documentation requirements page.

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