Student accommodations
For ACSD-registered students, learn more about your unique accommodation plan. For information about registering with the ACSD, please visit how to register.
Your accommodation plan
As an ACSD-registered student, you will work with your advisor to develop a unique accommodation plan.
This plan is created through an in-depth discussion about your needs and the barriers you face in the academic environment, and by reviewing your documentation.
Your accommodation plan can be modified as you progress through your time at Concordia.
When you register with the ACSD, your personalized accommodation plan begins with meeting with your advisor.
You will work with your advisor to:
- Develop and update your unique accommodation plan
- Access additional resources at Concordia and in the community
- Practice advocating for yourself, including learning to talk to professors or other professionals about your needs as a student with a disability
Contact your advisor directly to book a meeting.
If you don't remember who your advisor is, please email acsdinfo@concordia.ca. Please allow us up to 48 hours to respond.
Need to see an advisor earlier? An ACSD advisor will be available to answer questions and provide advice at the Student Service Station, Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
What are accommodations?
- Academic accommodations are adaptations or measures that reduce or eliminate barriers to participation.
- All accommodations must be reasonable, taking into account your functional limitations, academic standards and course objectives and constraints for all parties involved in coordinating the accommodation.
- Accommodations must not interfere with the university’s ability to assess the essential learning outcomes of the course or program and must adhere to all academic standards and the university’s academic integrity policies.
- Accommodations are not meant to provide you with an advantage, modify course material or learning objectives. While accommodations reduce barriers related to academic participation, they do not guarantee a level of achievement.
Accessibility portal
Your accessibility portal contains important information about your accommodations. You will need to visit your portal to review information about your individual accommodation plan.
