When should a student contact the Disability Services Office?
Students are edncouraged to contact the Disability
Services Office prior to beginning their program at Seneca. For some programs there are pre-admission orientation sessions that may require some accommodations. In these cases students are advised to contact our office
as soon as they recieve the information about the orientation dates. Additionally students may require accommmodations for the Skills Assessment testing which is done for all first semester college students. If you do
not require assistance in either of these situations please contact our office prior to the start of the school year so we may provide you with information about our services.
