Introduction
Dear Instructors:
These guidelines have been created specifically for Kwantlen Polytechnic University teaching faculty. They were developed to clarify the various needs of the many students with disabilities presently attending Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
The University is committed to the goals of creating an accessible and welcoming environment for all students with disabilities.
These guidelines provide information about academic accommodation, individualized evaluation and/or possible course accommodations. However, any accommodation must be tailored to the individual and the specific situation, since the essence of accommodating students with disabilities fairly is done so on an individual basis.
These guidelines summarize many of the instructional strategies, procedures and accommodations for students with disabilities that already have been implemented by instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. There is no perfect formula for mitigating all the barriers confronting people with disabilities. However, if each person’s needs are considered afresh, then every individual with a disability will encounter an atmosphere that is conducive to personal and educational success.
