If you have a disability and are seeking academic accommodation, we recommend you reach out to Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL) as early as possible. The sooner we connect, the smoother your transition to Camosun will be.
Plan ahead
Academic accommodation services take time to set up. We suggest contacting CAL eight to 12 weeks before classes start.
If you need a sign language interpreter or real-time transcriber, it's important to plan ahead, these services can take months to plan.
In cases where adequate notice is not provided, CAL will do its best to arrange the services you need, but we can’t promise they’ll be available.
Register for an accommodation
Step 1: Prepare your documentation
Step 2: Submit an online pre-intake form
Step 3: Attend a 'prospective-to-CAL' or 'intake' appointment
Types of accommodations
CAL works with each student to decide the best academic supports for their needs. Academic accommodations decision-making is a dynamic and consultative process.
Every student’s accommodations may be different and can depend on the learning goals of each course and the particular impacts of each student's disability. Examples include:
Classroom accommodations | Exam accommodations |
