Access and Diversity

The University accommodates students with disabilities who have registered with the UBC Access & Diversity office: UBC Access & Diversity provides leadership in examining policies, processes, and programs through the lens of diversity in order to build a community for all. If you have any questions about the University's policy on Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities (Policy 73), please go to http://www.students.ubc.ca/access/disability-services/portfolio/policy-73/. For further information about Access and Diversity, please go to http://www.students.ubc.ca/access/index.cfm

The University also accommodates students whose religious obligations conflict with attendance or scheduled exams. Please let your instructor know in advance, preferably in the first few weeks of class, if you will require any accommodation on these grounds.

Other absences (e.g., varsity athletics, family obligations or similar) are not part of University policy and you should not assume they will be accommodated. Please discuss this with your instructor before the withdrawal dates (above).
