Accessibility services

If you're a student with a disability and would like to explore academic accommodations to remove barriers to learning, our NSCC Accessibility Services team can help.

Start planning your supports now

It can take time to organize academic accommodations and funding, which is why it's important to make arrangements as soon as possible after being accepted into your program. If you wait until the start of the term, it will delay arranging accommodations.
