PMC works in partnership with the Carleton community to increase accessibility for students with disabilities into all aspects of university life. There are many student resources and support services available to Carleton students.
PMC-Specific Resources for Students
- Workshops: PMC has designed “express” workshops that provide tips, insights, and best practice information for you to take quality notes in class. Offerings and instructions about how to register are updated regularly.
- Financial Aid regarding scholarships, bursaries, and awards that are available to students who identify as having a disability.
- Self-Awareness Exercise is a tool designed to help you recognize what your mind and body may be telling you. Once you are aware of this information, you have the ability to address the difficulties that may be getting in the way of your academics and mental health.
- A directory of employment-related services offered to students with disabilities on Carleton’s campus.
