  • Note taking services
  • Sign language interpreters; computer note taking
  • Advice and information on disability issues

The law school is committed to supporting our students with disabilities. We can work closely with Accessibility Services to ensure the needs of students are met in a way that allows them to pursue academic interests and goals while fully participating in the U of T law community.

The law school also administers an Academic Accommodations process to support students who are experiencing a temporary illness or disability or an extraordinary personal circumstance and are not otherwise registered with Accessibility Services.

  • If you experience an ongoing, documented illness or disability, you must register with Accessibility Services to receive academic accommodations. Please contact the Director, Student Programs, Terry Gardiner terry.gardiner@utoronto.ca if you need help or have questions about registering with Accessibility Services.
  • If you require an Academic Accommodation due to a temporary illness or disability, or an extraordinary personal circumstance (e.g. death in the family), you must request the accommodation through the law school. Please review the Academic Accommodation policy on our website: http://handbook.law.utoronto.ca/guidelines-and-procedures/academic-accom....
