Emotional and Health Well-being
Emotional and physical well-being are paramount at Eeyou Istchee College of Science and Technology. We prioritize the holistic health of our students and will collaborate closely with various professional service providers both within and outside the community. Many of these partner organizations offer their services directly at the College, ensuring accessibility for all.
We are committed to ensuring that all students have equal access to our programs and services. The College will offer adapted learning and accommodation services to support students who may need additional assistance due to learning differences, limitations, or disabilities. This may include accommodations such as extended time for evaluations, provision of a separate room for exams, or access to specialized software to facilitate learning.
*Details on Inclusivity and Accommodations can be found on the College Policy – The Evaluation of Student Achievement (CP-TESA)
