To receive support for medical or disability reasons, contact our Administration Office or Academic Support Officer. You will be asked to first have your health professional complete a Health Practitioner Report and provide supporting documentation. A support meeting will then be arranged with the Academic Support Officer to explore what options may be available to assist you.

Please refer to the Student Academic Support Policy and Procedure for additional information.
