Accommodations Based on Medical Protected Grounds

Please review the criteria for required documentation and, if needed, download the University of Alberta Verification of Disability (VOD) form. 

If you do not have documentation or need it updated, contact the appropriate specialist(s) so they can complete the VOD for you. Interim accommodations may be available in limited circumstances for those experiencing delays in receiving their documentation.

Please note:

• Title your documents in the following format: last name_first initial_mmddyyyy (e.g., Smith_J_01252024). Use the date on which the documentation was completed (as listed on the documentation) in the file name.
• Remember to keep copies of your original medical documentation for your own records.

To complete your application, you will need your Augustana student number, CCID, and copies of your medical documentation. You must be signed into your University of Alberta email before selecting the application hyperlink. 

• Plan to spend about 25-30 minutes completing the form.
• Please provide comprehensive, detailed responses so that we can fully understand your circumstances and better assist you.
• Please note that you are not approved for accommodations until you receive email notification from your Student Accessibility & Success Advisor. This will always be sent to your ualberta email account so be sure to check it regularly.

Apply for Accommodations Based on Medical Protected Grounds

If you are having difficulty accessing the application, please email augar@ualberta.ca.

At this meeting, the advisor will: 

• ask questions to clarify how your diagnoses impact your life as a student,
• determine what academic accommodations are reasonable,
• provide information about your accommodation service providers (if applicable),
• review your responsibilities,
• review the online accommodation tools and information, and
• answer any questions you have about your accommodations.

At the beginning of each academic term or course block, you will need to activate your accommodations in ClockWork Student Services, schedule exam accommodations, and request other accommodation-related services. 

Please note:

• If you enroll in additional courses or change course sections after activating your accommodations, you must also activate your accommodations for each new course or course section added to your schedule.
