Institutional Obligations
All members of the Carleton University community have a human rights obligation to accommodate students with disabilities whose needs have been duly assessed and approved by the Paul Menton Centre.
Students with disabilities are responsible for identifying their needs for disability-related accommodation to the Paul Menton Centre by booking an intake appointment with a PMC Coordinator, and bringing appropriate documentation to the first meeting.
The most up-to-date web versions of Carleton policies and procedures, including those related to accommodations for students with disabilities, are available via the Carleton University Secretariat’s University Policies webpage.
Accommodation Process
Academic accommodations are based on disability-related needs and are intended to minimize the impact of functional limitations due to disability. Accommodations are not intended to provide unfair advantage, because students are still expected to meet the same course objectives and complete the same set of course requirements as all other students in the course.
Read about Carleton’s accommodation process.
Extended Time for Assignments
Prioritizing academic demands is an essential skill to develop for all university students. There are roles and responsibilities of all parties involved. Post-secondary education requires you to engage in self-directed learning, manage increased academic and competing demands and learn how to juggle priorities at school and beyond. Time management and organization skills are an essential part of being an independent learner and a university student.
Test and Exam Booking
Instructors, Scheduling & Examination Services (SES), and the CUOL Office share the responsibility for the provision of test/exam accommodations to students with disabilities at Carleton.
