    Statement on Accessibility and Accommodation


    Brandon University values diversity and inclusion, recognizing disability as an aspect of
    diversity. Our shared goal is to create learning environments that are accessible,
    equitable, and inclusive for all students. Student Accessibility Services (SAS) works with
    students who have permanent, chronic, or temporary disabilities. SAS supports
    students by developing individualized plans of accommodation, helping students to
    understand their learning needs, and assisting faculty with provision of accommodations
    for students registered with SAS.
    5

    If you have, or think you may have, a disability (e.g. mental health, attentional, learning,
    vision, hearing, physical, medical, or temporary), you are invited to contact Student
    Accessibility Services to arrange a confidential discussion at (204) 727-9759 or
    magnussonm@brandonu.ca. Additional information is available on the Student
    Accessibility Services website: https://www.brandonu.ca/student-services/student-
    accessibility-services/

    If you are registered with SAS and have a letter requesting accommodations, you are
    encouraged to contact the instructor early in the term to discuss the accommodations
    outlined in your letter.

    Attendance at Lectures and Practical Work


    (refer to the Graduate Calendar, section 3.7.1)

    1. All students are expected to be regular in their attendance at lectures and labs.
    While attendance per se will not be considered in assessing the final grade, it
    should be noted that in some courses participation in class activities may be
    required.
    2. For limited enrolment courses, students who are registered but do not attend the
    first three classes (or notify the instructor that they intend to attend) may have
    their registration cancelled in favour of someone else wishing to register for the
    course.
    3. Students who are unable to attend a scheduled instruction period because of
    illness, disability, or domestic affliction should inform the instructor concerned as
    soon as possible.
    4. Instructors may excuse absences for good and sufficient reasons.

    Wellness Services

    Positive well-being is highly correlated to learning and student success. Wellness is a


    combination of physical, social, spiritual and mental health. Personal Counsellors at
    Brandon University are dedicated to providing support to students’ wellness, primarily
    their mental well-being, through prevention activities, early identification, and timely
    interventions using a holistic lens.

    Please contact the Personal Counsellors in the Student Services Department at 204-
    727-9737 or visit Room 102 A.E. McKenzie Building to make an appointment. There are
    crisis counselling appointments available daily.
