Eligibility
The SDO provide disability support services to all Bishop’s students who have documented disabilities and who pay student service fees (an additional fee paid over and above tuition fees). Documentation of the disability must be appropriate and current. It must come from a certified practitioner who is qualified in the areas of the disability and must include a specific diagnosis and copies of any testing done to establish the diagnosis. In the case of multiple disabilities, students must provide documentation for each disability for which accommodations are requested.

Students with temporary disabilities
We assist students with documented temporary difficulties, such as accidents resulting in temporary mobility problems or broken limbs which affect their ability to carry on with their usual academic tasks.
