January 21 update - Deferred exams: if you have a deferred exam that will be written on-campus and you have approved accommodations, you will need to make a booking to use the SAS Exam Centre.

Registration Workshop

Our live workshops wrapped up in September, but we have this recording that will introduce you to SAS, the way we work, and some of the tools we commonly use to assist students.

U of G Announces Vaccination Mandate

President Charlotte Yates announced today that the University will be mandating vaccinations for the U of G community including faculty, staff and students at our Guelph and Ridgetown Campuses, and indoors at all U of G-managed field stations. This mandate is in place for the balance of the 2021-22 academic year. It is important to note that individuals who cannot be vaccinated based on medical or other grounds recognized by the Ontario Human Rights Code can request an accommodation.

Nervous about returning to campus?

We've heard from a number of students who are feeling apprehensive about returning to campus in the fall, which is understandable given that we've all spent the last year and a half learning and working from home. Sometimes these concerns are disability-related, in which case please speak with your SAS advisor. Below are some tips to think about if your concerns are not disability-related, or if you're simply looking for additional options to consider.
