If you have a diagnosed disability

York provides comprehensive support for students with temporary or permanent disabilities through Student Accessibility Services. These services include development of an academic accommodation plan, referral to campus and community supports and specialized programming for students with physical, sensory, medical, learning or mental health disabilities. If you require academic accommodations, register with Student Accessibility Services before the beginning of the academic year or as early as possible at the start of term. For psychological support services, students are encouraged to access Student Counselling, Health & Well-being, which provides a professional and supportive environment in which all York students have equitable access to a range of services that assist in facilitating their academic success.

Glendon students can access the Accessibility, Well-Being and Counselling (AWC) Centre at Glendon Campus, which offers a range of services to students, including personal counselling and accessibility services for students with learning, mental health, physical, sensory and medical disabilities.
