We require appropriate documentation supporting the need for special provision. The Student Accessibility Centre Manager will not divulge to an instructor the nature of the student's condition.
Examples of such documentation include, but are not limited to:
- A letter (on letterhead) from a licensed health professional which states the student’s diagnosis, impact of the disability on the student’s daily living and academics, and recommended accommodations and supports.
- A psychological or psycho-educational assessment report.
If you have any further questions regarding documentation, contact Ken Craft by emailing kcraft@unb.ca or calling at 506-648-5690.
