Information for Applicants with Learning Disabilities

In addition to submitting your application for admission and all supporting documentation for that application, you need to:

  1. Send us the appropriate documentation supporting your disability.
     
  2. Make sure we receive it by the deadline, as follows:
    March 1: Ontario high-school applicants
    April 1: All other applicants
    • Although documentation is coming from a variety of sources it is your responsibility to ensure the Special Admissions Office receives all documentation by the specified deadline.
    • Documentation received after the deadline may jeopardize your consideration under the modified admissions process.
       
  3. Provide all information using our Additional Information Form, accessible through MyFile.

Notes:

  • All documentation is considered confidential information and is safeguarded by the Special Admissions Office. Please note that information that you provide will not be reviewed by anyone outside the admissions process unless, and until, you have been admitted to York University and scheduled an appointment with Counselling & Disability Services.
  • Each application is reviewed on an individual basis. If further information is required to assess your application, you will be contacted by telephone to attend an interview with representatives from the Office of Admissions and Learning Disability Services. Interviews are usually conducted during May and June.
  • All psychoeducational reports are reviewed by qualified staff within Learning Disability Services.
