Are Academic Accommodations for you?

• Do you have an ongoing medical condition or disability that impacts your access to campus activities?
• Did you receive academic or other disability-related accommodations at another educational institution?

Accommodations at the SRC
If, and only if, you have answered yes to either of these questions, then only UBC's Centre for Accessibility determines your eligibility for academic accommodations in accordance with the university's Policy 73: Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities, that is, NOT the SRC, NOT our staff, and NOT your instructor. 

When a student has been deemed by UBC's Centre for Accessibility as eligible for academic accommodations, receives an approved an accommodations letter, and provides a copy to the SRC and his/her instructor(s), the SRC then facilitates disability-related accommodations and programming initiatives designed to remove barriers for students with disabilities and ongoing medical conditions, while following SRC procedures.

What Academic Accommodations ARE:

1. Academic Accommodations ARE Specific Help for Students who have Specific Conditions – UBC’s Centre for Accessibility clearly states on its website “Academic accommodations help students with a disability or ongoing medical condition overcome challenges that may affect their academic success.”
2. Academic Accommodations ARE Specific Written Agreements on UBC Accommodation Letters – “UBC's Centre for Accessibility determines a student's eligibility for accommodations in accordance with the university's Policy 73: Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities.”
3. Academic Accommodations ARE Specific Academic Requests Made Well in Advance - All valid academic accommodation requests at Corpus Christi College, made by Corpus Christi College students who provided their valid accommodations letter at the beginning of the term, MUST be made at least 7 days in advance. No exceptions.

What Academic Accommodations ARE NOT:

1. Academic Accommodations are NOT Make Up Exams – Make Up Exams must be arranged between the student and the instructor ONLY IF the student has provided sufficient medical document to support his/her case AND the instructor approves the case after reviewing the medical evidence.
2. Academic Accommodations are NOT Rescheduled Exams – Rescheduled Exams must be arranged in advance between the student and the instructor ONLY IF the student has provided with the appropriate documentation to support his/her case AND the instructor approves the case after reviewing it.
3. Academic Accommodations are NOT Last Minute Notices or Requests – Again, all valid academic accommodation requests at Corpus Christi College, made by Corpus Christi College students who provided their valid accommodations letter at the beginning of the term, MUST be made at least 7 days in advance. No exceptions.
