Access and Equity Services

ACCESS AND EQUITY SERVICES

Access and Equity Services (AES) is responsible for providing, along with faculty, reasonable accommodations for students who experience barriers to their education on the basis of a prohibited ground(s), including disability, religion, family status and gender identity.

At St. Peter’s College, because it is affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan, these same USask policies apply: students there are supported under USask’s Duty to Accommodate policy, and St. Peter’s follows USask’s rules and procedures for working with AES (including registration, documentation, accommodation planning, and timelines).

Registration and Exam Request deadlines

Registration Deadlines

Students can register with Access and Equity Services (AES) at any point during their studies. However, we encourage students to register as early as possible – before the start of classes – to ensure accommodations are in place for their classes and exams. Students must initiate the registration process by submitting the required documentation and pre-intake form to AES by the deadlines below to meet exam request deadlines.

  • To put in place effective and timely accommodations, we require specific documentation outlining the barriers to learning faced by the student. If critical information or context is missing or provided late, it may result in the request for accommodations being delayed or denied.
  • Documentation or pre-intake forms received after the deadlines specified for registration will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
