NorQuest College student life, accessibility and wellness support services

Edmonton, Alberta

Accessibility and wellness use separate contacts, processes and availability.

Register with Accessibility Services

Accessibility Services offers advising, assistive technology, academic coaching, accommodated exams and sign-language interpretation. Registration starts through the published accessibility email. An adviser can review disability documentation and explore accommodations or accessibility funding; admission by itself does not approve a particular accommodation. Academic coaching appointments cover study methods, exam preparation, time planning and reading comprehension, and students can also visit the office.

Plan accommodated exams

Accommodated exams follow setup with Accessibility Advisors and Assistive Technology. NorQuest describes in-person options at Edmonton or Wetaskiwin and possible online delivery, with a five-business-day flexible writing window. The appropriate arrangement depends on approved accommodations and the exam, so contact the service early.

Allow for response time

Accessibility hours are Monday to Friday, 8:15 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; in-person quick questions are listed from 9 a.m.–noon and 1–3 p.m. The page says email responses take three to five business days. Those timings are contact expectations, not accommodation approval or implementation guarantees.

Use student wellness services

The Student Health and Wellness Centre offers in-person and online appointments or drop-ins through psychologists, social workers and nurses. Professional mental-health support is free and private for NorQuest students. Nurses are drop-in only and cannot dispense medication. Services may not be on site at every campus.

Choose urgent support when needed

For urgent needs, use the current crisis directions rather than waiting for a routine appointment. The page lists 911 for emergencies, 988 for the national crisis line and the Edmonton distress line outside office hours. Keep accessibility, health care, counselling, academic advising and emergency response as distinct routes.

Decision checklist

  • Register with Accessibility Services.
  • Allow for response time.
  • Choose urgent support when needed.
