This website is dedicated to information sharing for staff, faculty and students of Carleton University with regards to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
About AODA
The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is to develop a fully accessible Ontario by the year 2025.
In order to reach this goal, AODA has defined standards in the following key areas:
- General provisions
- Customer service
- Information and communications
- Employment
- Transportation
- Built environment
The Accessibility Standards for Customer Service were the first to be passed in 2008. In 2012, the general provisions and accessibility standards for information and communications, employment and transportation became law and will be implemented gradually. Standards for the design of public spaces were adopted in 2012.
Carleton University is committed to achieving barrier free accessibility for persons with disabilities who are studying, visiting and working at Carleton and that all members of our community are treated with respect and dignity.
