Our work is governed by HÂþ»­'s Student Accommodation Policy, which reads in part:

"This policy forms part of a broader,Ìýongoing commitment to create a fully accessible university community, and acknowledges that, through dialogue, the university can better understand the nature and extent of campus barriers to accessibility. It is the responsibility of every member of the HÂþ»­ University community to be knowledgeable on institutional policies related to prohibited grounds for discriminatory practices and accessibility."Ìý Ìý
