| Principle | Implication |
| Dignity | Dignity means that each student is able to maintain privacy, self-respect and the respect of others. Dignified service means including the needs of persons with disabilities to ensure that they are provided with the same service, quality and convenience as others. |
| Equity/Equality of Outcome | Equity/equality of outcome means having the same chances, options, benefits and results as others through equitable means. In the case of services, it means that persons with disabilities have the same opportunity as others to benefit from the equitable way that education is provided. |
| Independence | Independence means that every student is able to do things on their own without unnecessary help, or interference from others. For example, a staff member should not take over a task from a student with a disability who moves or speaks more slowly than others, unless requested. |
| Integration | Integration means that every student is able to benefit from the same education, in the same place and in the same or similar way as others. For example, repeat students’ questions and allow only one person to speak at a time. This will reduce auditory stimuli that can confuse students with mental health and learning disabilities, as well as vision and hearing loss. |
Humber College is committed to providing all its service in accordance with the principles outlined above, including the provision of academic accommodation.
