ADHD Documentation Requirements

If you wish to register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS), you must provide relevant psychological or medical documentation.

The ADHD Medical Documentation Form is for students who do not have a full psycho-educational assessment which documents their learning needs and how their ADHD impacts their academics. Students who submit this form should be aware that they might be requested to go through additional assessment through Student Accessibility Services prior to receiving full accommodations.

During peak periods it is possible that from the time that your documentation reaches our office, it can take up to a maximum of two weeks for you to see your counsellor for your initial appointment.

Many accommodations take time to implement. In some cases, students who are approaching us in the middle or near the end of a term might only be able to fully access their accommodations the next term.

Extended time for tests/exams needs to be arranged at the start of each academic term.
