Accommodation Intake Appointment


This type of appointment occurs after a student has registered with the DSS office and provided sufficient documentation relating to their accommodation request.

The appointment type and duration that you will be guided to request will be the "Temporary Accommodation Meeting" after an initial connection with a DSS Counselor. 

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss specific accommodations based on the needs and lived experiences of the student. Each plan is individualized, and accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis.
