PURPOSE
Mount Royal celebrates diversity and welcomes the contributions, experiences and full participation
of Students Experiencing Disabilities as valued members of our community. Higher education is
the gateway to the workplace and community for our students; therefore, it is essential that the
learning environment at Mount Royal be accessible to all members of the community. Mount Royal
is committed to cultivating a Universally Accessible environment for all of its communities through
the removal and prevention of accessibility-related Barriers. This Policy aims to foster diversity,
inclusiveness and student success by ensuring that Students Experiencing Disabilities receive
equal opportunities for academic success and personal development at Mount Royal.
In accordance with the Alberta Human Rights Act ("the Act"),
and Mount Royal’s Human Rights
Policy, Mount Royal will promote and protect the rights and dignity of Students Experiencing
Disabilities and will create and maintain a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment that
is free from Discrimination and harassment. Mount Royal recognizes its legal duty to provide
Reasonable Accommodation to Students Experiencing Disabilities, that this duty arises from
human rights legislation, and that failure to provide Reasonable Accommodation to a student with
a documented Disability may amount to Discrimination under the Act.
B.
SCOPE
This Policy applies to all Students Experiencing Disabilities enrolled at Mount Royal, as well as to
all those responsible for its implementation. All faculty and faculty/instructional staff, administrative
and support staff share Mount Royal’s legal responsibility under the Act to accommodate Students
Experiencing Disabilities.
For Accommodations other than Academic Accommodations for Students Experiencing
Disabilities, please refer to Mount Royal's Human Rights Policy or contact Access and Inclusion
Services.
C.
POLICY STATEMENT
1.
PRINCIPLES
1.1
Mount Royal recognizes the rights of Students Experiencing Disabilities who are
academically qualified to participate fully in the life of the institution.
Academic Accommodation for Students Experiencing Disabilities Policy
– April 7, 2014
Page 2 of 14
1.2
Mount Royal promotes awareness, advocacy and learning partnerships amongst
the whole of the Mount Royal community. In recognition of the diverse population
it serves, Mount Royal is committed to providing a respectful, inclusive, Barrier-
free and Universally Accessible learning environment within the limits of Undue
Hardship.
1.3
In recognition that ability is diverse in kind and degree, Mount Royal will adapt its
services and programs to accommodate the needs of individual students, in
accordance with the requirements of the Act.
1.4
Provision of Academic Accommodation shall not lower the academic standards of
the University. Academic Accommodation shall not remove the need for evaluation
and the need to meet essential learning outcomes.
1.5
Students Experiencing Disabilities will meet the same academic requirements and
standards as all students, although the manner by which Students Experiencing
Disabilities meet these may vary.
1.6
Academic integrity, as defined by the Code of Student Conduct Policy, will be
upheld by those providing and receiving Academic Accommodation.
1.7
Delegation of authority for Academic Accommodation decisions is based on:
a.
The type (Modification; Substitution; Waiver; Degree Notwithstanding a
Deficiency) of Accommodation being sought; and
b.
The level of Accommodation being sought (Course; program; University).
1.8
Mount Royal stresses the development of self-advocacy and independence of
Students Experiencing Disabilities. Students are their own best advocates and a
reasonable measure of self-reliance is necessary for academic success. Students
requesting Academic Accommodation must take the initiative to inform the
institution of their needs at the beginning of the term they pursue their studies with
the same diligence required of all students and accept responsibility for the role
that they play in achieving their goals.
1.9
Notwithstanding the above, there may be times when self-advocacy by students in
the process of securing Academic Accommodations is not a reasonable
expectation. Factors that may affect a student's ability to advocate for themselves
include:
(a)
The nature of the Disability may make it difficult for a student to be aware
of the need for Accommodation and/or to participate in the design and
implementation of the Accommodation;
(b)
The pervasive and persistent stigma associated with requiring Academic
Accommodation(s) and/or certain Disabilities;
(c)
The existing power imbalance between students and University personnel,
including faculty/instructional staff members and others involved in the
implementation of Academic Accommodation(s).
Students should be aware of the support services available to them on campus,
including the services of the Students’ Association of Mount Royal University.
Academic Accommodation for Students Experiencing Disabilities Policy
– April 7, 2014
Page 3 of 14
1.10
While Students Experiencing Disabilities are encouraged to share information
regarding their Accommodations with faculty/instructional staff and other
University personnel that would play a role in facilitating their Accommodations,
such information can only be released in accordance with the Act, the Freedom of
Information and Privacy Act and the Health Information Act.
1.11
Mount Royal recognizes the variety of rights enjoyed by members of the campus
community, including academic freedom. Notwithstanding the range of values and
interests held by members of our community, international conventions, the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, provincial human rights legislation and
legal decisions all recognize the paramount importance and unique status of
human rights, including the duty to accommodate Students Experiencing
Disabilities. In all cases, the rights of individuals as protected by the Act, the Mount
Royal Human Rights Policy and/or this Policy are superordinate to other rights and
freedoms in the campus community. Academic freedom implies in no way the right
to engage in any action that demeans the freedom or dignity of other individuals in
the campus community.
(12)
Respect for all members of the Mount Royal community will be upheld at all times.
Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated.
(13)
In accordance with relevant legislation and tribunal and court decisions, Mount
Royal recognizes our responsibility to justify the academic standards we use to
deny Academic Accommodations for Students Experiencing Disabilities on the
basis of Bona Fide Educational Requirements. Academic Accommodations cannot
be denied on the basis of an essential academic requirement unless those
requirements have been approved, with written rationales, by General Faculties
Council.
Each academic unit shall submit to General Faculties Council for approval written
rationales for the Bona Fide Educational Requirements fide educational
requirements of its existing and of any newly developed programs.
Relevant administrative personnel shall identify and submit to General Faculties
Council for approval written rationales for the Bona Fide Educational Requirements
fide educational requirements of its existing policies, rules and standards related
to academic admission, progression and graduation that are not under the
delegated authority of an academic unit. This includes academic requirements at
the Faculty/School and University levels.
Where academic programs are subject to external accreditation or approval, a
document outlining essential skills and abilities based on Bona Fide Occupational
Requirements shall be submitted for approval by General Faculties Council.
1.14 If a student experiencing a Disability challenges an academic standard, Mount
Royal will provide objective evidence of the need for the standard or explain how
the standard is a reasonable and Bona Fide Educational Requirement. The
standard must be imposed by Mount Royal in good faith.
1.15
Mount Royal commits to a regular review of Policy, procedures and services
related to Students Experiencing Disabilities.
1.16
Following due process, Mount Royal may take one or more of the following actions
against anyone whose activities are in violation of any applicable legislation or of
this Policy:

DEFINITIONS
(1)
Academic
Accommodation(s):
Academic Accommodation refers to the process of
making alteration(s) to the delivery of academic services
and requirements, including admission, progression and
graduation
requirements,
to
enable
equitable
participation. The Academic Accommodation of Students
Experiencing Disabilities involves activities like making
adjustments or alternative arrangements in the
educational environment to ensure it does not have a
discriminatory effect on a student because of the
Disabilities they may experience.
Modification is an Accommodation involving a relatively
minor change made to an academic admission,
progression or graduation requirement. Modifications
Academic Accommodation for Students Experiencing Disabilities Policy
– April 7, 2014
Page 9 of 14
usually involve a revision to the way a student must
demonstrate
required skills
and knowledge,
or
sometimes additional assistance for a student which
does not detract from the skills and knowledge the
student must acquire. See Appendix 2 for examples.
Substitution is an Accommodation involving the
replacement
of
a
certain
academic
admission,
progression or graduation requirement by another that is
deemed comparable. Substitutions are commonly used
to effect Accommodations. See Appendix 2 for
examples.
Waiver is an Accommodation involving the removal of an
academic criterion for admission, progression or
graduation. A Waiver should never be offered in regard
to a Bona Fide Educational Requirement. A Waiver does
not include a case where a requirement is replaced by
another requirement (this is a Substitution), but rather is
the complete elimination of a non-Bona Fide Educational
Requirement. See Appendix 2 for examples.
Degree Notwithstanding a Deficiency is one that is
conferred upon a student who has not met all the General
Faculties Council-approved requirements for their
program of study and for whom no other Accommodation
has been approved in regard to the missing
requirements. A degree not-withstanding a deficiency,
when approved by General Faculties Council (or the
Dean, as delegated in the Academic Standing,
Continuance and Graduation policy) is the only way in
which a student may effectively obtain a Waiver of what
would otherwise be considered a Bona Fide Educational
Requirement.
(2)
Access Advisor:
refers to a qualified Access and Inclusion Services
professional
who
works
with
students,
faculty/
instructional staff and other University personnel to
develop
appropriate
Accommodations,
or
recommendations for Accommodations for Students
Experiencing Disabilities.
(3)
Access and Inclusion
Services:
refers to the Mount Royal department with delegated
authority to assist the University in discharging its legal
and moral duty to provide Academic Accommodation and
to create an accessible learning environment that
encourages full participation in academic courses for
Students Experiencing Disabilities. Access and Inclusion
Services works with students, faculty/instructional staff
and other University personnel to develop appropriate
Accommodations
for
students
who
experience
Disabilities in the post-secondary environment.
(4)
Accommodation
Agreement:
refers to the signed arrangement, facilitated by Access
and Inclusion Services, made between Mount Royal and
the student that:
Academic Accommodation for Students Experiencing Disabilities Policy
– April 7, 2014
Page 10 of 14
a.
specifies the recommended Accommodation(s) to
be provided by Mount Royal for the student; and,
b.
authorizes the release of information to appropriate
individuals when necessary.
(5)
Barrier:
is a structure, design, practice and/or criterion that
prevents or impedes a person from accessing a facility or
service.
(6)
Bona Fide Educational
Requirement(s):
are those requirements that are a reasonable and
justifiable component of a program that may limit entry to,
or completion of, a program or course. In the context of
Academic Accommodation, they include the admission,
progression and graduation requirements that are
essential to maintain the academic integrity of a program,
including those necessary for students to acquire and
demonstrate essential skills and knowledge.
(7)
Bona Fide Occupational
Requirement(s):
are those requirements that are reasonable and
justifiable components of an occupation or specific job.
(8)

Accommodation(s):
refer to Accommodations generally related to Course-
specific admission or progression criteria. Examples
include methods of course delivery and evaluation or
course prerequisites.
(9)
Disability:
is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity
limitations and participation restrictions. Disability is thus
not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon,
reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s
body and features of the society in which they live.
Overcoming the obstacles faced by people experiencing
Disabilities
requires
interventions
to
remove
environmental and social Barriers.
(10) Discrimination:
is defined as one or a series of unwanted behaviours or
communication directed toward an individual or
members of an identifiable group be-cause of a
prohibited ground of Discrimination, as identified by the
Act and reflected in the Mount Royal Human Rights
policy. The prohibited grounds of Discrimination are:
Race
Ancestry
Religious Belief
Physical Disability
Age
Marital Status
Family Status
Colour
Place of Origin
Gender
Mental Disability
Sexual Orientation

Gender Identity and Expression
Discrimination is behaviour which may be rooted in a
prejudicial attitude. Discrimination is an act of
differentiated treatment towards an individual as a
member of a group or towards a group, which can
disadvantage an individual or group.
Discrimination often excludes an individual from a right
or privilege to which they would otherwise be entitled.
Whether it is colleague to colleague, supervisor to
subordinate, subordinate to supervisor, employee to
student, student to employee, or student to student,
Discrimination introduces a disruptive element into
Mount Royal's environment which endangers the well-
being and job performance or educational experience of
the individual.
(11) Duty to Accommodate:
refers to the obligation of an employer or service provider
to take measures to eliminate for employees, prospective
employees or clients
’ disadvantages that result from a
rule, practice or physical Barrier that has or may have an
adverse impact on individuals or groups protected under
the Act. Mount Royal has the Duty to Accommodate to
the point of Undue Hardship. In the Mount Royal context,
the University is both an employer and a service provider
and clients mean any student or other member of the
community wishing to make use of our services or
facilities. The Duty to Accommodate recognizes that true
equality means respecting individual’s different needs.
(12) Human Rights:
are inalienable, indivisible, universal entitlements
codified in international and domestic law. In Canada,
they are protected through:
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
Provincial/territorial human rights legislation (e.g., Alberta
Human Rights Act);
Decisions of tribunals and courts;
Human
rights
commission
policy
statements,
interventions and other mandated functions; and,
International law/instruments (ratified treaties, treaty
body comments/decisions, international and other
jurisdictional decisions).
(13) Professor
Acknowledgement:
refers to the signed form that verifies the course instructor
has received
the student’s confidential Academic
Accommodation Memo and to acknowledge that the
student has met with the course instructor to discuss how
Academic Accommodation for Students Experiencing Disabilities Policy
– April 7, 2014
Page 12 of 14
the Accommodation request may relate to the design of
the course.
(14) Program-Level
Accommodation(s):
refer to Accommodations normally related to program-
specific admission, progression or graduation criteria.
Examples include clinical or practica requirements.
(15) Policy:
means the Academic Accommodation for Students
Experiencing Disabilities Policy
(16) Reasonable
Accommodation:
refers to an Accommodation that addresses an inequity
without creating an Undue Hardship on the employer or
service provider. The law requires that Students
Experiencing Disabilities must be provided Reasonable
Accommodation, not perfect accommodation.
(17) Students Experiencing
Disabilities:
refers to those individuals who have any verifiable and
persistent
physical,
learning,
cognitive,
sensory,
psychological, neurological, or temporary impairment
that may affect their academic progress.
(18) Systemic Discrimination:
(also referred to as Substantive or Institutional
Discrimination) can be described as a pattern of
behaviour, policies or practices that are part of an
organization,
and
which
create
or
perpetuate
disadvantage related to one or more of the prohibited
grounds set out in the Act. In many cases, Systemically
Discriminatory policies and practices seem neutral on
their face but when applied equally to all result in
differential treatment to a particular group.
(19) Undue Hardship:
refers to unreasonable and excessive challenges for the
institution which may include but are not limited to:
a.
The financial cost of the Accommodation(s) will hurt
the viability of the institution; and/or
b.
There are significant competing rights; and/or
c.
There are health and safety concerns; and/or
d.
The Accommodation would compromise Bona Fide
Educational or Occupational Requirements.
Undue Hardship is determined by a three-part test
created by the Supreme Court of Canada and interpreted
by tribunals and courts. According to the Alberta Human
Rights Commission, the Undue Hardship standard is very
high and post-secondary institutions will normally be
required to provide Accommodation. Individuals may
consult with Diversity and Human Rights Services and/or
the University's Legal Services with their questions
regarding Undue Hardship
and Mount Royal’s legal duty
to accommodate.
(20) University:
means Mount Royal University

– April 7, 2014
Page 13 of 14
(21) Universal Access/
Universal Design:
is an approach to the design of all products, processes,
procedures, systems, structures and environments. The
goal is to make these as useable as possible by as many
individuals as possible, regardless of ability. "Universal"
does not imply one solution for everyone; rather, it
reflects an awareness of the unique nature of each
individual as well as the need to accommodate
differences. The aim is to create learning and working
experiences to suit the individual and to maximize the
individual's ability to progress.
(22) University-Level
Accommodation(s):
refer to Accommodations related to general admission,
progression or graduation requirements and related to
processes administered by a central University authority.
Examples include graduation requirements like General
Education courses or processes such as access to
registration.
