ALS Who is responsible for funding adjustments on work placements?
For HSS courses such as Nursing, reasonable adjustments for placements are the responsibility of Occupational Health and the faculty can refer students to this as needed.
ALS and the University are responsible for the reasonable adjustments made only to academic aspects of the student's course, not a work placement.
Where students are under a contract of employment with the placement provider, the employer will also have a responsibility to make adjustments. These would be discussed prior to the placement and during Progress Reviews.
