Accessibility advising
Our accessibility advisors can help you submit your disability documentation to NorQuest. They also support students who are applying for Schedule 4 funding. Email accessibilityadvisor@norquest.ca if you have any questions about your accommodations.
Sign language interpretation
Sign language interpreters are available to help students who are deaf during class and other appointments. We can also provide students who are hard of hearing with appropriate accommodations. Email interpreter.signlanguage@norquest.ca for more information.
Exam accommodations
Accommodated Exam Services will set you up with the exam supports you need (e.g. extra time and/or other assistive technology, etc.). We also provide flexible, extended booking - students get five business days to write their exam. You may be able to write in person at the quiet Test Centre (at the Edmonton or Wetaskiwin campus). Or, you may be able to write online. Learn more about Accommodated exam services.
Academic coaching
We can help you learn ways to study for exams, plan your time, understand what you read, and much more. If you want to improve your skills for learning, book an appointment with a coach or drop by our office. See Academic coaching for more information.
Assistive technology
Our assistive technology specialists can help if you use a variety of assistive technology tools. These include voice recorders and text-to-speech or speech-to-text software. They provide ongoing support through individual appointments and daily drop-in hours.
