CBC Article on Accommodations at post-secondary

“More than a third of Maritime university students report disabilities”

“A growing number of university students across the country are reporting disabilities — and receiving academic accommodations — with Maritime institutions leading the way.

Academic accommodations can include extra time for exams and assignments, note-taking assistance, a quiet space to write tests and reduced course loads.

According to the Canadian University Survey Consortium, 29 per cent of Maritime university students reported a disability in 2019. That number jumped to 37 per cent in 2022.”
