Student Accessibility Centre

The Student Accessibility Centre provides support to students with documented disabilities. Students with documented visible, invisible, and temporary disabilities may register with us. We are a service for students who require academic accommodations in their courses.

This fall, the SAC will be meeting with students by appointment only (no drop-ins). Meetings can take place via phone, Microsoft Teams or in person.  

Contact coordinator Ken Craft (kcraft@unb.ca) or support assistant Alexandra Valencia (alexandra.valencia@unb.ca) to arrange an appointment to discuss registration and academic accommodations.

Student academic appeals

Students may appeal an academic decision based on extenuating circumstances or events that are beyond the control of the student. Learn about the student appeal process.

International Student Services

The international student advisor provides immigration services to new and current international students at UNB Saint John, as well as pre-arrival support and orientation services.

To learn about how COVID-19 immigration changes affect you, you’re invited to reach out to schedule a meeting: schedule a virtual meeting.
