The Clinical Vision Science Program welcomes applications from students with disabilities who are academically qualified applicants in accordance with the University's admissions policy. The Clinical Vision Science program recognizes and affirms the rights of these students to have full, fair and equal access to all University services, programs and facilities and to be welcomed as participating members of the University community. Reasonable accommodations will be made to the known limitations of an otherwise qualified student who has a documented disability.

Accommodations may be made by providing alternative ways for the student to meet requirements or by adapting the instructional delivery system and/or assessment procedures (for example, through visual language interpreters, note takers, alternate examination formats, adaptive equipment). These accommodations should enable the student to demonstrate his or her knowledge and skill without diluting curriculum or credentials, or detracting from the responsibility of the student to achieve individual results consistent with course/program requirements and objectives. All accommodations provided by the Clinical Vision Science program must:

• be based on documented individual disability needs;
• allow the most integrated experience possible;
• not pose a threat to personal or public safety.

Scope:
Please note that the meaning of disability is established in the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act, and includes physical, sensory, mobility, communication, learning, emotional, psychiatric and other non-visible impairments and disabilities. See Appendix A for the definition of 鈥渄isabilities鈥� according to section 3 (1) in the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.

Process:
Applicants are advised to contact the Advisor to Students with Disabilities in writing to ascertain that their needs can be met, since the University may not be equipped to fulfill all special needs. For more information please visit the  Accessibility  page at 鲍鱼tv Academic Support.
