Advocacy and Mediation

Disability Services for Students represents students with disabilities in negotiation with the University, colleges and professors. The office accomplishes this by:

  • Ensuring that the campus is accessible for students with disabilities
  • Developing a confidential file for a personalized assistance strategy

By acting as mediator between students and the University administration or between students and faculty, the office aims to ensure that students are treated in an equitable manner, and to minimize obstructions to success for students at university.

Examples of mediation services include:

  • Course grievances
  • Student / administration negotiations
  • Student / professor negotiations
