How do I find out which colleges or universities have good physical access to classrooms and other facilities?

The best first step is to contact the disability / accessibility services office at the college or university you are interested in. Staff there can provide detailed information about physical access on campus, including accessible classrooms, residences, libraries, labs, and common spaces. Many schools also publish campus accessibility or facilities maps that show the locations of elevators, ramps, curb cuts, automatic doors, accessible washrooms, and accessible parking. In addition, some institutions offer orientation sessions or specialized campus tours for disabled students, which can be a good way to see the spaces in person and ask questions about your specific access needs. If you do not have the contact information for the campus disability services office, you can use the “Campus Disability Services” directory under the Education tab on our website. This directory lets you search schools by province or territory and links directly to the websites and contact details for disability service centres across Canada.
