Confidentiality and Disclosure

Students will need to inform instructors of their association with the Student Accessibility Centre and, when necessary, of classroom or academics related accommodations required.  Disclosure of the nature of their disability is not mandatory and can be a difficult matter for an individual due to the newness of a disability, type of disability, or associated stigma.  The SAC will have detailed documentation of each student’s disability on file, and we leave it up to students to determine the degree of disclosure.  We ask that the student's decision in this regard be respected.
