Individual Education Access Plan

Once you have met with a Disability Assessment Advisor, you will be given an Individual Education Access Plan (IEAP). Each IEAP is different, as they are based on the specific circumstances & health situation of a student and their program of study.

Information on your IEAP may be distributed to other University staff to assist in the implementation of adjustments.

Students are required to reactivate the required adjustments on their IEAP each session.

The following is a list of adjustments that may be recommended as a part of a student's IEAP.
