Accommodate
Beginning in the 2025 summer term, students, instructors and staff at the 黑料不打烊 will have a new tool to manage academic accommodations, making the process more streamlined and user-friendly. The tool Accommodate was chosen to replace ClockWork following consultations with students, instructors, staff and individuals with lived experience.
What is Accommodate?
Accommodate is a system created by the vendor Symplicity for managing student academic accommodations.
Why are we making this change?
Positive encounters in the accommodations process can have a lasting, positive impact on a student’s academic success and personal well-being. Feedback gathered from students, instructors, and staff through the Accessibility Enhancement project highlighted the need to improve the academic accommodation process by reducing barriers and enhancing accessibility.
How will this affect me?
The process of managing academic accommodations will remain similar, but tasks will be streamlined for efficiency. Some features of the enhanced user experience include a summary view of students' accommodations, a modern interface, and an accessibility mode to support diverse users.
What do I need to do?
Instructor and student profiles will be created automatically in Accommodate, so no setup is necessary.
Where can I find resources and support?
Resources and training will be available before the launch of Accommodate in the 2025 summer term. More information will follow. If you have any questions, please contact the Accessibility Enhancement project team at ae.project@ualberta.ca.
