Yorkville University provides academic accommodations and accessibility supports for students with permanent, episodic, or temporary disabilities or medical conditions, helping to create a learning environment in which disabilities are not a barrier to completion of courses and programs. We do this, in part, by removing barriers to access, deploying technologies that facilitate access for students with disabilities, and providing academic accommodations.

Our Accessibility and Academic Accommodations office is available on-campus (Ontario) and online (Zoom or Phone) to assist students and faculty with developing an accessible learning environment.

A team of Career Services Advisors offers one-on-one and group sessions, plus, webinars on several relevant career development topics, including career exploration, resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, researching the labour market, and more. Career Services Advisors also maintain our YU Job Board, provide advice for finding part-time jobs, offer self-help resources, and host webinars and employer information sessions. The overall goal of this service is to help students identify the multiple career paths their program/degree might lead to, supporting students to find jobs and effectively manage, grow, and develop their careers.

International students also get free access to Devant’s career support portal — home to their Get Hired Master Class, weekly live workshops, live Q&A with immigration lawyers, AI-driven resume builders, mock interview tools, and a whole lot more.
