If you require an academic accommodation due to a disability, religious reason, your family status or your gender identity, register with AES. Services and programs provided by AES are only available to students who have registered with AES. 

You must provide appropriate documentation in order to register with AES. Depending on your circumstance, different documentation is needed:

1. Medical-based disabilities and pregnancy: A licensed health care practitioner must fill out a medical questionnaire.
2. Learning disabilities: A psycho-educational assessment completed within the last five years by a registered psychologist who is licensed to diagnose must be provided.
3. Other protected categories prohibited grounds including but are not limited to religion, family status, and gender identity: Supporting documents vary on a case-to-case basis. Please contact AES directly for more information on the different requirements for each protected category.

If you have questions, review our how-to articles. If you can't find what you're looking for, contact us by email (preferred) or phone, or if you have a quick question, use our online form to request a 15-minute virtual drop-in.

USask is guided by Saskatchewan's Human Rights legislation and the university's Duty to Accommodate policy.

Accommodations are supports or services that allow a student with a disability, or other accommodation needs, a fair opportunity to engage in academic activities and fulfill essential course and program requirements. Accommodations are meant to level the playing field for students; they are never meant to provide an advantage to students. Accommodations are not the same as modifications; you must still meet the learning outcomes of your program.

How are they administered?

Some accommodations can be arranged by an instructor (e.g. record lectures, extensions for assignments) while other accommodations are managed by AES. Accommodations managed by AES include classroom changes, exam accommodations, assistive technology, note-taking, and alternative format materials.

If you have a student in your class that needs accommodations and you have questions, please contact us.
