Review the eligibility requirements

We provide services for both disability and non-disability related academic accommodation needs. Before getting started, review the eligibility requirements for access to accommodation services.

Still in the process of applying to MRU?

If you have not yet paid an application fee to Mount Royal University and would like to learn more about our services, please book an information session with our Prospective Student Advisor. 

The Prospective Student Advisor will help you understand the academic accommodation process and provide details regarding the type of documentation you will need to qualify for academic accommodations. Having the appropriate documentation is the key to receiving services and grant funding at any post-secondary institution.
