Become a Student of the Atlantic Centre

To become a student of the Atlantic Centre, our application consists of two steps.

  1. First complete the online application that is available here: http://www.smu.ca/administration/atlcentre/ac_online.html
  2. We require documention of your disability from your physician or specialist. If you do not currently have documentation for your disability, you can bring the Documentation Form to your physician/specialist to be filled out. We require documentation that clearly outlines what accommodations would help you during your time at Saint Mary's University.
    • Once you have completed these two steps you will be assigned a counsellor and contacted within two weeks. Your application cannot be processed until both the application and the documentation form are received.
     

Once you have determined your courses for the year, it is recommended that you fill in our test request form. We require at least one week notice for test and two weeks notice for final exams. If you have any questions regarding test requests please contact Megan Adams.

Furthermore, if you have any questions regarding student loans or disability grants please contact Kim Penny.
