Accessible Learning Services is working to enhance institutional EDI knowledge of disability and academic accessibility.

• Testing Services is available by appointment only for Humber and Guelph-Humber learners who are registered with Accessible Learning Services.
   
• Learners are required to make an appointment on our scheduling site prior to coming on site to complete testing. More information about the learner process can be found here. You can also review the step by step instructions in this video.
   
• Please note that learners may choose not to use Testing Services for every assessment.
   
• Learners must advise faculty prior to each assessment of their intent to utilize their testing accommodations and write in the Test Centre. Once this is confirmed with learners, faculty must submit their assessment to Testing Services no later than 3 days prior to their requested write date.
   
• At the time of booking their exam, learners can choose the date, time and location for their test and select the accommodation(s) they wish to activate.

Are you interested in exploring how to maximize engagement in your classroom? How to develop high-impact learning that lasts?

We are forming a small study group that embeds an introduction to research into your classroom (whatever subject you teach). Birthed at the University College London, it is a framework that allows students to participate in research and make strong connections across disciplines through various research projects. It is a way of producing the context for your students that directly links them to the subject matter. The intent of this framework is to incorporate a more inclusive curriculum by giving students more exposure to the disciplinary knowledge of scholars representing a global perspective.

Interested? Please join the new Connected Curriculum study group. You will find it under SoTL Communities of Practice on teams.

We are also available to come into your classroom for a 'research chat' if desired – it is part of our mission to make research accessible to everyone.
