Carleton University is committed to making reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities and actively encourages application from disabled students. This commitment includes gaining an understanding of the circumstances of an individual's disabilities and adjusting services to all academically qualified individuals enabling them to compete on an equitable basis.
Our applications process assures confidentiality insofar as the admission decision is concerned while identifying the candidate to the Paul Menton Centre for Persons with Disabilities, so that those who gain admission can make the decision to come to Carleton after assessing the extent to which specialized services will be available.
Academic accessibility is intrinsically linked to physical accessibility. Carleton is committed to continually monitoring and upgrading physical accessibility to whatever extent is possible.
A standing Committee of the Senate monitors the needs and problems of disabled students in conjunction with their academic problems and makes recommendations for improvements. (See General Information, Counselling and Student Life Services, Persons with Disabilities, page 34).
