SAS is moving to a new software platform that replaces Accessibility Online (AO). For students, the new system includes:

• A tool to submit new or updated documentation
• Online appointment requests
• A change to the way you request your accommodations each semester
• A new web interface for booking to use the SAS exam centre
• A variety of other tools to help improve communication.

Eventually, we'll move our volunteer notetaking services to the new system, but not yet.

Welcoming You to Student Accessibility Services (SAS)!

Throughout the summer, join the SAS and the START Accessible Team for various events, sessions and activities on all things SAS. We have a combination of virtual and on-campus events. If you missed a virtual event, recordings will be available a day or two later. Please make sure you have completed your SAS Application to register with SAS.

Join the SAS Peers for a group circle-style mid-semester check-in.

How are things going? Have you found it easy to navigate the resources around you? What are some things that are very new for you this semester?

You are not alone if you’re still looking for ways to turn your semester around and end on a high note.

The upper-year Peer Helpers will go through time-management resources and discuss study strategies to get on track for finals. Along with your fellow students, learn how to get through procrastination and manage burnout.

Dear Students,   

We have sent an email to instructors for the fall 2023 semester with access to our SharePoint site. This includes tutorials in a variety of formats and a link to access the new Faculty Portal.

You might be prompted to login as SharePoint is a part of Microsoft 365. This content is only available to instructors. If you have difficulty accessing it, please let us know sas.faculty@uoguelph.ca.

Interdisciplinary artists, Olivia Brouwer and Dawn Matheson, collaborate with CNIB to host a free sensory-led nature walk and creative workshop at the University of Guelph Arboretum Centre for participants who are blind and partially sighted. The workshop will involve the creation of sound-activated mixed media sculptures based on recordings and sensory activities within the natural environment. Artworks created from the workshop will also be temporarily exhibited.
