Make a Referral

Learn about how to make a referral in order [1] to help students get the support they need.

Plan an Event

If you are planning an event on campus, you may want to consider how to make it accessible [2].

Support/Service Animals

The University has an animals on campus protocol [3] that a framework for how we manage support/service animals, and we have some additional information available about service animals under AODA [4].  Students who wish to bring a Support/Service Animal into the University's facilities must register with SAS by completing a New Student Intake Form [5], and providing supporting documentation [6].  We have also put together some general information about the behavioural expectations [7] of support/service animals.

Committees to Improve Accessibility

There is an Accessibility Committee on campus, with numerous sub-committees who look at full inclusion from a variety of perspectives ranging from communication to the physical environment. You can read more about the University's commitment to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act [8] (AODA), website accessibility [9], accessible parking [10], and our multi-year accessibility plans [11].

In addition, the University has a Student Mental Health Committee [12], which has established a mental health framework dedicated to promoting student well-being.

Employees of the University

For staff and faculty who are experiencing a disability, Occupational Health and Wellness [13] provides support in the form of workplace accommodations, a return to work program, and a variety of wellness initiatives.

Opportunities for Ongoing Learning

Finally, the Guelph Accessibility Conference [14] is hosted on campus every year at the end of May. The conference welcomes accessibility novices and experts, and provides an opportunity to share ideas among people from a range of backgrounds including post-secondary education, as well as other public and private sectors.
