 Student Accessibility Services supports undergraduate, graduate, and continuing studies students who require accessibility support related to temporary and permanent disabilities. Students whose disability impacts their learning experience can register with Student Accessibility Services to learn more about academic accommodations, services, and supports, to meet their accessibility needs.

Current OCAD U students can access request forms and more information [here](https://ocadu.topdesk.net/tas/public/ssp/a5447cd7-b6e4-45b4-a667-bd6ca3584585).
