 Accommodations
 =======================
 
-The Centre for Accessibility ensures educational equity for students with disabilities, injuries or illness.
-If you are disabled, have an injury or illness and require academic accommodations to meet the course objectives, [visit the CFA website](https://students.ubc.ca/about-student-services/centre-for-accessibility) for more information or contact the CFA at: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+Accommodations are intended to remove barriers experienced by individuals with disabilities.
+As a matter of principle, UBC is committed to promoting human rights, equity and diversity, and it also has a legal duty under the BC Human Rights Code to make its goods and services available in a manner that does not discriminate.
+[Policy 73](https://universitycounsel.ubc.ca/files/2019/02/policy73.pdf) (Accommodation for Students with Disabilities) sets out principles and processes governing the accommodation of students with disabilities.
+
+All accommodations for this course are handled through the [Centre for Accessibility](https://students.ubc.ca/about-student-services/centre-for-accessibility) (CfA).  If you feel that you may face barriers falling under Policy 73, I encourage you to contact the CfA to book an appointment as soon as possible, as it can take some time to complete the approval process.
+
+Students who have accommodation(s) approved through the Centre for Accessibility should email their accommodation letter directly to the instructor within the first two weeks of term (or immediately upon approval if that approval occurs during the term).

 - Plenty of TA and instructor student hours and several outside of normal business hours.
 - Class website that outlines exactly what you should do when to help you manage your time.
 - Tonnes of supplemental materials including other instructional videos in case you want a different perspective.
 - Weekly prompt to accept the integrity pledge to keep you accountable.
 - A true willingness from the instructor (me) to help you learn and succeed in this course!
