Accessibility

Academy Canada is committed to providing a quality education to all students regardless of age, gender and ability, as indicated in the mission statement . . .

Academy Canada's policy is to provide equal enrollment opportunities regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or sexual orientation. The college is committed to make good faith efforts to reach individuals with disabilities, women and minorities with information about our programs, particularly in career fields where women or minorities are not currently well represented.

The college accepts responsibility to create a diverse learning environment, and to that end, recruitment and selection processes are not discriminatory and transparent. All designated groups have equal access to training and development opportunities, and our resources. All recruitment presentations are planned in such a way as to ensure that they are not based on stereotypical assumptions.

Academy Canada is committed to the provision of an excellent and challenging learning environment for students and staff. The college aims to produce policies and procedures in which an anti-discriminatory environment can be achieved throughout the institution. In addition, curricula, teaching and learning methods and schedules are designed keeping in mind the needs for equal opportunities for designated groups. Academy Canada also looks to it's advertising to provide positive images, which promote the inclusion and participation of designed groups such as women in non-traditional occupations and minority groups.

Accommodating Students With Learning Disabilities

As stated in Academy Canada's mission statement, the college is committed to providing quality education to all its students in a learning environment supportive of individual needs. To that end, Academy Canada has developed a handbook, Strategies and Procedures: Accommodating Students With Special Needs, assisting faculty and staff in providing reasonable and appropriate accommodations that will give support to students who are studying to reach their academic goals.

Students with diagnosed learning disabilities may request special services to accommodate their learning difficulties. Campus Administration coordinates these services in conjunction with a classroom instructor; however, a student has a responsibility to make their requirements known to campus staff. The accommodation process is one of collaboration between student and instructor. Academy Canada Instructors are willing to accommodate all types of disabilities and are supportive of students' accommodation requests. All faculty and staff work with students with disabilities so their career goals can be achieved.
