The Meighen Centre
The Centre is nationally recognized for its work with students who have learning disabilities and has recently expanded to include services for students with all types of disabilities.
In addition to providing services to students, the Centre works to help those outside the Mount Allison community better understand disabilities and runs a research program to study disabilities, particularly those affecting young adults.
Mount Allison was one of the first universities in Canada to establish a centre specifically for students with learning disabilities. The Meighen Centre has since cemented its reputation as one of the country’s leading support and research facilities in this field.
It now will have the opportunity to extend that expertise to students on campus with other types of disabilities.

St. Thomas University welcomes students with disabilities and commits itself to work with each student to develop a program which will allow individual learning needs to be met. Services for student accessibility include a variety of accommodations and services for students who have special needs.
Like many universities in Canada, St. Thomas University has admission criteria designed to ensure that every student who is admitted is academically prepared to be successful in his or her chosen direction of study. Student Services attempts to give students with special needs reasonable accommodations and services. At the same time, all admitted students are held to the same academic standards and expectations as their non-disabled peers.
After admission, St. Thomas University students are encouraged to register with Student Services and to provide documentation of their disability. (All disclosed information is confidential.) Accommodations and services are determined on an individual basis for each student and will vary from one student to the next depending on laws, university policy, financial support availability, disability verification and professional judgment.
