Accessibility services

Our nationally-recognized Meighen Centre provides services and accommodations to Mount Allison students with documented disabilities.

Mount Allison’s Meighen Centre provides accessibility support to students with disabilities and medical conditions, whether permanent or temporary. Students registered with the Meighen Centre may receive academic and/or campus accommodations.

The Centre also works with faculty on implementing Universal Design for Learning principles, provides Mental Health First Aid training and occasionally conducts research to study a variety of topics that affect young adults.

For students registered
with the Meighen Centre

Before accessing services and accommodations, students must register with the Meighen Centre. We highly recommend you register early as documentation may be required and some supports take time to implement.

Academic accommodations

Academic accommodations may be provided to a student when a disability creates functional limitations in their academic pursuits.

Programs and resources

Meighen Centre students have access to services and resources, including pre-orientation for new students, peer mentorship, and counselling services.

About the Meighen Centre

Building on programs and services offered on campus since 1988, the Meighen Centre was established in 1994, with a landmark donation from Michael and Kelly Meighen of the then-Themadel Foundation, now the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation.

The Meighen Centre was one of the first of its kind among Canadian universities and is nationally recognized for its work with students who have learning disabilities. Several years ago, it expanded its services to include services for students with all types of disabilities, in partnership with the University’s Wellness Centre.
