2.1 Overview – Your Letter of Accommodation (LOA)
Overview
Your Letter of Accommodation (LOA) is your way of advising your instructor(s) what accommodations you are eligible for in their classes. Your LOA should be provided to your instructor(s) as soon as you are registered with the Centre for Accessibility. To provide your LOA to your instructor(s), please request your LOA through the ClockWork portal. In subsequent terms, it should be provided to instructor(s) within two weeks of the beginning of the term so that they can plan for these accommodations accordingly. Note that some faculties, departments, or courses (e.g., Health Programs, Professional Programs etc.) may require you to provide your LOA to someone other than your instructor(s) (e.g., Course Coordinator). If you are unsure as to who to provide your LOA to, refer to 2.2 Who do I give my Letter of Accommodation (LOA) to? or ask your Accessibility Advisor. Students will not be able to book accommodated exams until they have “Sent” the LOA to their instructors.
