Fred Smithers Centre

Saint Mary's University provides accommodations to students with disabilities through the Fred Smithers Centre. There are a variety of services available to help students achieve their academic and career goals. 

During virtual operations, we continue to offer accessibility services to students online. We can help you by email, telephone, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams video chat. Contact fredsmithers.centre@smu.ca with any questions. 

For returning students who have already registered with the Fred Smithers Centre and would like to have their accommodations re-activated for 2021 Fall semester, contact fredsmithers.centre@smu.ca.  

We require an application form form and documentation to support accommodation. When both items are received, you will be contacted by email to schedule an Intake Meeting with one of our Accessibility Advisors.
