Important Resources Available at Toronto Metropolitan University

• The University Libraries provide research workshops and individual consultation appointments. There is a drop-in Research Help desk on the second floor of the library, and students can use the Library's virtual research help service to speak with a librarian, or book an appointment to meet in person or online.

• Student Life and Learning Support offers group-based and individual help with writing, math, study skills, and transition support, as well as resources and checklists to support students as online learners.

• You can submit an Academic Consideration Request when an extenuating circumstance has occurred that has significantly impacted your ability to fulfill an academic requirement. You may always visit the Senate website and select the blue radio button on the top right hand side entitled: Academic Consideration Request (ACR) to submit this request.

  For Extenuating Circumstances, Policy 167: Academic Consideration allows for a once per semester ACR request without supporting documentation if the absence is less than 3 days in duration and is not for a final exam/final assessment. Absences more than 3 days in duration and those that involve a final exam/final assessment, always require documentation. Students must notify their faculty/contract lecturer once a request for academic consideration is submitted. See Senate Policy 167: Academic Consideration.

  Longer absences are not addressed through Policy 167 and should be discussed with your Chair/Director/Program to be advised on next steps.

Accessibility

Please see the Toronto Metropolitan University's Accessibility website for the university's statement on accessibility.

Academic Accommodation Support

Academic Accommodation Support (AAS) is the university's accessibility services office, supporting students with disabilities. AAS works with students, faculty, and staff to create inclusive learning environments, reduce barriers, and promote accessibility across the university.

If you have (or suspect you may have) a disability, AAS can provide consultation, guide you through registration, develop accommodation plans where appropriate, and connect you with supports and services. For information about eligibility, documentation requirements, registration, deadlines, and available services, visit AAS.

Academic Accommodations (for students with disabilities) and Academic Consideration (for short-term extenuating circumstances) are governed by different university policies. Learn more about each process and how to access support. Students registered with AAS may request academic consideration (related or unrelated to their disability) if they experience extenuating circumstances that impact their ability to meet their shorter term academic obligations. This includes short term physical or mental health issues that are sudden/acute (e.g, the flu), unexpected illness or injury, hospitalization or treatment, and significant aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Please see Policy 167: Academic Consideration for more information and details.

Please note that there is no accommodation for missing/rescheduling or reweighting of tests - this is considered an alternate arrangement. Any student who misses a test/exam will be directed to submit an ACR to explore if possible alternate arrangements under Policy 167: Academic Consideration can apply .
