Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005)

In compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005), Humber College continues to promote a barrier-free learning, living and working environment. Under the AODA (2005), Humber College is required to provide information in alternate formats, upon request, and to notify the public about the availability of alternate formats.

How can your school or department inform the public that the information you distribute can be provided in an alternate format upon request?

You can do the following:

1. Include an accessibility footer on all information that your school or department creates and distributes. For example, the footer can state the following: This document is available in an alternate format upon request.
2. A message can be posted on your school or department’s website. Please see below for an example of a website message:

If you require any information on our website or any of the information that our school/department distributes in an alternate format, please contact:  (include the name and contact information of a designated contact person)

What types of alternate formats might be requested?

Common alternate formats include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Electronic text, such as Word documents or PDFs;
• Large print in 16-20 point font or larger;
• Verbal or written explanation of a document;
• Video captioning, transcripts; and
• Sign language interpretation.

Thank you for ensuring Humber’s compliance with the AODA.
