Accessibility Services for Ontario Students

Any student with a documented disability is entitled to accommodations under the Ontario Human Rights Code and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The purpose of accommodations and modifications is to reduce or eliminate any disadvantages that may exist because of an individual’s disability.

Services for students with disabilities may include, but are not limited to:
     ■ Test modifications (e.g., extended time, separate location, readers)
     ■ Classroom accommodations
     ■ Advocacy
     ■ Assistive Technology, such as screen readers, voice input.

Individuals with disabilities seeking accommodations, adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services must contact and provide documentation of disability to:

Accessibility Services/Academic Success Center
11 Vincentian Drive
P.O. Box 1915
Niagara University, N.Y. 14109
Phone: 716.286.8072 Fax: 716.286.8063

Documentation of disability must be current and submitted by a qualified professional. Documentation should include a description of the current functional limitations the individual is likely to have at college due to his/her disability in order to assist Accessibility Services in determining eligibility for disability accommodation at Niagara University. Depending on the disability and the type of assistance requested, a graduate student may be referred to additional university service providers as needed.
