Common Questions

Does a student with an accomodation still use the ACR process?

Yes, if the extenuating circumstances do not relate to their accommodation. A student who has an academic accommodation may experience extenuating circumstances that impact their ability to meet their short-term academic obligations and should submit their requests through the ACR. e.g. a Student with Accommodations can still get the flu.

What if a student submits an ACR without a medical note?

If the student is using their once per term no documentation required request, the system will accept it. The system will automatically monitor submissions. If a student has already submitted their ACR without documentation for the term, further attempts to submit an ACR without documentation will be restricted.

What if a student is unable to get a medical note from their family doctor due to COVID? 

As of August 25, 2020, The Toronto Met Medical Centre is currently operating virtually with appointments by phone or video conferencing.

A medical note can be provided if the circumstances warrant it for a fee of $25.  Please have the student contact 416-979-5070 or by email at medicalct@torontomu.ca to schedule a virtual appointment.
