1. When your College application is processed you will be invited to register to write your Pre-Admission Test (if required). At the end of the Registration Form you will be asked to indicate if you have a disability.
2. If “Yes”, you will need to fill out an Accommodation Request Form.
3. You will need to provide appropriate documentation (see below) that supports your request as soon as possible (at least 7 days prior to the test). For example, a recent IEP or IPRC stating that you have a disability (learning, physical etc.), a medical or psychological report, a note or letter by specialists or other professionals such as speech pathologist, hearing specialist, optometrist etc. identifying your condition and needs.
