Students with Disabilities
The Co-op and Career Centre is committed to supporting the employment needs of students with disabilities.
If you would like to discuss strategies for success in your co-op experience, contact your Co-op Student Advisor. They would be happy to assist you in discussing what accommodations you may need.
Students are strongly encouraged to register with the Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL) who can identify reasonable adjustments in an academic setting and can provide guidance for accommodations in the workplace.
You are not required to disclose that you have a disability or mental illness unless it directly impacts your ability to carry out the necessary functions of the job you might be applying for.
