Procedure

To obtain your request for accommodation(s), you must first meet with a doctor from the Service universitaire de santé étudiante (SSE).

See our Service universitaire de santé étudiante (SSE) section (in french).

At the end of the consultation, the doctor will give you a medical opinion listing the proposed accommodations, which will be studied by your component.

The accommodation order is then edited and signed by the President of the University before being sent to you (and your component).
