Accommodations + Accessibility
The University of Alberta has committed to nurturing an inclusive learning community that centres equity and diversity in its environment and recognizes the inherent dignity of all learners. As such, accommodation support is available to remove barriers for eligible students who encounter limitations or restrictions to their ability to perform the activities necessary for university life.
Eligibility + registration
Learn about accommodation eligibility, how to register for accommodations, and required documentation.
Students Already Approved for Accommodations
Students who have already registered for accommodations have responsibilities each semester to ensure that their accommodations remain active.
Information for Instructors
Since the instructor’s role is central to the student’s learning experience, our office tends to collaborate closely and frequently with you, together with our shared students, throughout the academic year.
Duty to Accommodate
Accessibility & Accommodations Services is aligned with the mission of the Office of the Dean of Students, guided by federal and provincial human rights legislation, and defined by a number of University policies. The University of Alberta is obligated by legislation to provide accessibility-related accommodations to students with disabilities to the point of undue hardship.
Accessibility Enhancement
Learn how the Office of the Dean of Students and the Office of the Vice-Provost (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) are working together to transform accessibility and accommodation services and processes to better serve our campus communities.

Activate Accommodations & Register Exams
In accordance with the University of Alberta’s Discrimination, Harassment, and Duty to Accommodate policy, accommodation support is available to eligible students who encounter limitations or restrictions to their ability to perform the daily activities necessary to pursue studies at a post-secondary level due to medical conditions and/or non-medical protected grounds.
The Academic Success Centre administers the University of Alberta’s Duty to Accommodate procedure for students, and works with students, instructors, campus units, Faculties and departments, community and government agencies, and on and off-campus service providers to coordinate students’ medical and non-medical accommodation needs for participation in University of Alberta academic programs. Our services are informed by federal and provincial regulations regarding accommodations in post-secondary education, as well as human rights requirements for all legally protected grounds.
Please note:
- While the term ‘disability’ is utilized in government policies related to medical accommodations (i.e., physical or mental disability protected grounds), we employ inclusive language and practices that focus on people and diverse abilities first.
- Inquiries about accommodations for staff and faculty should be directed to staff/faculty members' Human Resources Services partners.
