Accessibility
Committed to full and inclusive access of your living and learning campus communities
The Student Success Centre is the hub for student access, inclusion, and accommodation support on Dalhousie's Agricultural Campus. We work collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff to create an inclusive educational environment for students. Our team works with students who request accommodation as a result of a disability, religious observance, family status or any other barrier related to a protected characteristic under Human Rights legislation (NS, NB, PEI, NFLD).
We can support you in a number of ways:
- one-on-one advising to facilitate access to academic courses and programs, facilities, services, and activities
- identify classroom, exam and other accommodations to reduce barriers to your learning or campus communities
- advocate on behalf of, and alongside you, to support your transition into and throughout your academic program
- assist you in exploring or accessing disability-related funding
- connect you with on- and off-campus resources to enhance your success

Accommodations
Accommodation reduces or removes barriers to your learning to ensure fair and equitable access to your classroom, testing or
co-op/fieldwork environments.
Exam Accommodation
Submitting requests for exam accommodations and what to expect on your testing day.
Our work is governed by Dalhousie's Student Accommodation Policy, which reads in part:
"This policy forms part of a broader, ongoing commitment to create a fully accessible university community, and acknowledges that, through dialogue, the university can better understand the nature and extent of campus barriers to accessibility. It is the responsibility of every member of the Dalhousie University community to be knowledgeable on institutional policies related to prohibited grounds for discriminatory practices and accessibility."
