St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine actively collaborates with students to develop innovative ways to ensure accessibility and creates a respectful, accountable culture through our specialized disability support. We are committed to excellence in accessibility and encourage students with disabilities to seek accommodations.
Applicants and students who, after review of the technical standards, determine that they require reasonable accommodation to fully engage in the program should contact the Student Accessibility and Accommodation Services to privately discuss their accommodation needs. Given the clinical nature of our programs, time may be needed to create and implement the accommodation(s). Accommodation(s) are never retroactive; therefore, timely requests are essential and encouraged.
Compensation through technology for deficiencies in any of the areas outlined above or below may be acceptable; however, such compensation should not preclude a candidate’s abilities to act reasonably and independently. The use of a trained intermediary would mean that a candidate’s judgment must be mediated by another person’s power of selection and observation; therefore, third parties cannot be used to assist students in accomplishing curricular requirements in the tasks specified below, where the candidate’s judgment would be so mediated as a result.
