Accessing Student Accommodation Plans

1. Visit the Accommodate Portal via https://georgebrown-accommodate.symplicity.com/.
2. Select the Faculty user type.
3. Log in using your GBC account(your username is your EmployeeID@georgebrown.ca).

1. Log in to Accommodate and on the left-side navigation select Accommodation Letters.
2. You can use the search bar to find a specific Accommodation Letter from the list.
3. Select the Accommodation Letter title for each individual student to review their specific letter.
4. From here, you can review the letter’s contents. The Accommodate system requires you to sign the letter by typing your name or initials to mark it as reviewed.

1. Log in to Accommodate and on the left-side navigation select Course Specific Details.
2. You can review both your current courses and past courses. From here, you can use the search bar to narrow down the list by keyword and/or semester. Once you have found the course you want to review, select the course's name.
3. Then, you will be brought to the course overview page for more information. From here, you can select Accommodated Students to view and manage the enrolled students for the course.

Tip: If you have already reviewed and signed the letter and would like to see a summary of a student’s accommodations, navigate to the Accommodated Students tab under Course Details to see the types of accommodations that are approved.

If you are GBC faculty, you will be able to access the majority of your students’ Accommodation Letters through the Faculty Portal in Accommodate. If you are a non-GBC faculty, you or the Program Coordinator will receive your students’ Accommodation Letters via email from an Accessibility Consultant. Unfortunately, ALS is unable to upload Accommodation Letters to the Faculty Portal for non-GBC faculty due to restricted access to the course registration system.

The Faculty Portal in Accommodate is a central location where you can conveniently access student Accommodation Letters through the college’s secure network.

Once student Accommodation Letters are active, ALS will send an automatic email to you with a link to the portal where you can login to view the letter. If changes are made to a student’s Accommodation Letter, a new notification email is sent, providing you with the link to the updated letter.

One of the following reasons will likely account for why a student’s Accommodation Letter is not available on the Faculty Portal:

• You are a non-GBC faculty member. Unfortunately, ALS is unable to upload Accommodation letters for non-GBC faculty due to restricted access to the course registration system. In these situations, you will receive an email from an Accessibility Consultant with a copy of the student’s accommodation letter. It is the student’s responsibility to contact their Accessibility Consultant to request this each semester and provide their faculty email addresses to the Accessibility Consultant.
• The student’s Accommodation Letter has expired, and the student has not renewed their letter for the current semester. In such circumstances, please encourage your student to contact their Accessibility Consultant to ensure their accommodation letter is up to date.
• You have been added to the course later in the semester or are taking over for another faculty member in the middle of the semester. In these circumstances, students will need to notify their Accessibility Consultant of their new faculty so ALS can resend the Accommodation Letter. New letters will only be sent if the student makes an adjustment to it.
• If you are a GBC faculty and are experiencing issues logging in, please contact the Accessibility Consultant assigned to your program.
