Accessibility Planning at Nipissing University

Nipissing University's previous and current Accessibility Plans are viewable by opening the corresponding named documents below. Individuals may request a copy of these documents, stating the preferred format, by contacting the Chair of the Accessibility Planning Committee.
 
 
Identification and Reporting of Barriers
All members and guests of the Nipissing University community are invited to provide feedback and suggestions related to the identification, prevention and removal of barriers for persons with disabilities. Click here (Barrier Identification Form), to open the Barrier Identification Form. Respondents may return the completed questionnaire/form in person, by email or regular mail using the instructions provided on the form. Alternatively, respondents may use the Maintenance/Housekeeping Requests form to report a problem or concern involving campus facilities.
 
Nipissing University Accessible Customer Service Policy
Nipissing University strives at all times to provide its goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. We are also committed to giving people with disabilities the same opportunity to access goods and services and allowing them to benefit from the same services, in the same place and in a similar way as all members of our teaching and learning environment. The attached Accessible Customer Service Policy outlines our commitment to achieving these goals.
 
Accessibility Admissions Policy
Nipissing University encourages applications from those of Aboriginal ancestry, visible minority and/or persons with disabilities. Applicants who meet the minimum stated requirements for admission to the University but not the admission average for the program applied to, may apply for consideration under the accessibility policy. Such candidates should self-identify themselves in writing to the Office of the Registrar. Eligible persons must be Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents and applying to first year studies from high school or post-secondary education.

Applications will be reviewed on an individual basis. Admission offers may restrict the number of courses for which an applicant may register and may require a certain average be maintained. Once the admission requirements have been satisfied, the student may register as a full-time student.

Applicants seeking consideration under the categories are required to supply official documentation as outlined below:

  • Aboriginal ancestry - proof of aboriginal descent (i.e. copy of Native Status Card),
  • Visible minority - a letter outlining the personal situation and verification from prior school official,
  • Persons with Disabilities - a letter outlining personal situation, verification from prior school official and medical/psychological documentation.
