Faculty are now able to access most student accommodation letters online using the Faculty Web Portal.
Benefits of the Faculty Web Portal:
- Faculty can view accommodation letters in two ways, by course or by student name.*
- Faculty can access student accommodation letters online from any place, at any time through a secure web portal.
- Faculty are notified as new students connect with ALS throughout the semester.
- The portal displays the most recent version of the accommodation letter so in cases where accommodations are changing throughout the semester due to the nature of the functional limitations and/or program demands, faculty will no longer need to sort through multiple emails or files.
*Please note that students continue to have the option of self-managing the distribution of their accommodation letters. For this relatively small portion of students, faculty will continue to receive accommodation letters directly from students either electronically or in hardcopy. We ask that faculty continue to store these letters securely.
What has changed?
- Faculty are no longer receiving emails from ALS with accommodation letters attached but are now receiving an email with a link to the secure faculty web portal. The portal safely contains and displays the necessary accommodation information.
- Detailed instructions about how to use the faculty web portal are available online through ALS’ website humber.ca/student-life/swac/accessible-learning-services/faculty-resources/faculty-web-portal-student-accommodation-letters.
Please contact ALS at accessible-learning@humber.ca if you have further questions.
