Accommodation Letter Request
Accommodation Letters are issued for each term on a case-by-case basis. Accommodation Letters can typically be requested 2 weeks prior to the start of classes each term. In order for your Accommodation Letters to be generated and issued to your instructors, you must request them every term by submitting a Letter Request through Accommodate. Instructions on how to submit are found here (large text instructions).
Note: If you add a class after you submit a Accommodation Letter Request, you will need to submit another request through Accommodate for the added class.
Once your Accommodation Letters have been issued each term, you will receive an email with information on the next steps. Students have the following responsibilities to ensure that accommodations are met:
- Contact each of your instructors to ensure that they received a copy of your Accommodation Letter, and to have a discussion about your relevant needs for the term. This discussion could take place in-person, through email, or over Zoom.
- Inform Student Accessibility of any issues with letters or missing letters.
- Monitor your uregina email, Accommodate account, and UR Courses for important information regarding your accommodations.
- Contact Student Accessibility and your instructors immediately if you have any difficulties regarding your accommodations.
- Fully and actively participate in the accommodation process, and adhere to all University of Regina policies and procedures.
IMPORTANT: Deadlines for Exam Accommodation Requests
It is important that your instructors and/or test centre staff have sufficient notice to make and/or approve exam arrangements. In order to guarantee that exam accommodations will be provided, you must request and receive your Accommodation Letter and discuss your needs with your instructors at least 1 week (7 days) in advance. Exam accommodation requests made after this deadline may be attempted, but cannot be guaranteed by Student Accessibility.
