Academic Accommodation of Students with Disabilities

The Academic Accommodations of Students with Disabilities policy outlines the roles and responsibilities for instructors and students regarding requests for academic accommodations in courses at McMaster. At the start of term, you will be required to login to review accommodation letters outlining the requirements to make assessments accessible to students in your course registered through Student Accessibility Services (SAS). At any point in the term, additional students may register and upload new letters, so it is important to check the site regularly for any new or updated letters. Any questions you may have about accommodation requests can be directed to the staff members named in the accommodation letter.

You can find more information about teaching accessibly in Considerations for Effective Teaching of this book. Should you wish to learn about equity and inclusion in teaching, the Equity and Inclusion Office offers many valuable training opportunities for McMaster educators.
