Accessibility Planning

Developing the Saint Mary’s University Accessibility Plan.

We are committed to meeting the needs of people who face barriers to accessibility to ensure our campus is an inclusive space for learning and working. We will do this by identifying, removing, and preventing these barriers and by meeting the requirements of Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act.

See the Saint Mary’s University Accessibility Plan (2022-2025) .
