If you feel that your disability has adversely affected your grades, and that you may be close to the admission cutoffs, please fill out the Supplemental Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D).  SAS will retain this information and will use it collaboratively with Admission Services if needed. Note that if you receive an offer of admission, you will still need to register with SAS as soon as possible and this is a separate process.

The deadline for submitting the SIF-D is May 1.

Welcoming You to Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

SAS has already started using our new software platform in the background. Starting in May 2023, it will be more noticeable to students and faculty because this is when we will stop using Accessibility Online (AO). For students, the new system includes:

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is pleased to inform you that our SAS Student Peer Helpers will be hosting Mid-Semester Check-in sessions in the coming days. These will be workshop style sessions where you can meet fellow students registered with SAS and hear tips and tricks from the Peer Helpers on things like managing your time and finishing the semester on a strong note!

We invite you to attend the Plan Your Semester Workshop offered through Student Accessibility Services! During this workshop, you will learn how to access your course due dates and test dates, fill out your calendar or planner with all the important dates for the semester, and learn tips and tricks for planning and success.

UPDATED at 11:30 am - The University is closed today, December 15, due to inclement weather. All exams booked in the SAS Exam Centre will automatically be rescheduled for the same time and place on Saturday, December 17. Appointments with SAS Advisors will be online today.

When there is active winter precipitation, Physical Resources makes a best effort to keep all walkways clear starting with the priority areas. At the same time, there are some limits to how quickly they can work. We also know that there are sometimes trouble spots where walkways (maintained by U of G) cross city streets (maintained by the City of Guelph). If a snow plough goes by after a walkway has been cleared, a snowbank may temporarily create a barrier. The university makes a best effort to monitor these spots and respond as quickly as possible.

Check to ensure all of your tests and exams are booked!

If you need the SAS Exam Centre this semester, then you need to submit your booking by the end of the day onTuesday, November 1. Similarly, if you need to make a change to an exam you've already booked (e.g. because the format has changed, or your accommodations have changed), the deadline is the same.

Don't forget: if you drop a course or end up deferring an exam, you need to cancel your booking to avoid a $20 no-show fee.
