Atlantic Centre of Research, Access and Support for Students with Disabilities

Accessing Services                                                                                        

Do you

• require extra time and/or a space with less distractions to take tests?
• receive support through your school's resource teacher?
• use computer programs to help with reading and writing?

In order to receive services and supports from The Atlantic Centre, you need to become a client of the Centre.

The first step is to complete an application.  In the application you need to  tell us about your disability.  You can complete the online application form, download the application form and mail it or come into the Centre to complete the application.   If you need help completing the form give us a call 420-5452.

You can begin this process when you have accepted an offer of admission from Saint Mary's University.  You can also apply for services with the Atlantic Centre at any time during your studies at Saint Mary's.

Submit an application for services along with recent and relevant documentation of your disabiilty. You can mail, fax or bring your documentation with you when you visit the Centre.

You can apply for services at any time of the year. However, it is to your benefit to have as much time as possible to start planning for your disability needs. This is especially important for students entering Saint Mary's University for the first time in the fall semester.

An Atlantic Centre counsellor will review your application and documentation and contact you to schedule a meeting.
