Students With Disabilities / Disabled Students

Experience Guelph has made every effort to use the most respectful words possible while compiling these materials. We realize, however, that the most appropriate terminology may change over time. We have shared these resources with the intent to respect the dignity and inherent rights of all individuals. According to the Ontario Human Rights Code, the code protects people from discrimination and harassment because of past, present and perceived disabilities. “Disability” covers a broad range and degree of conditions, some visible and some not visible. A disability may have been present from birth, caused by an accident, or developed over time. We also recognize that barriers can include physical, attitudinal environments etc. and we offer support to address these.

The Experiential Learning Hub is committed to supporting the employment needs of students with disabilities.

If you would like to discuss strategies for success in the workplace, book an appointment with a Career Advisor or if you are a co-op student, speak with your Co-op Coordinator.

Students are strongly encouraged to register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) who can identify reasonable adjustments in an academic setting and can provide guidance for accommodations in the workplace.
