Instructors are required to discuss special needs requests with the Associate Dean in the following circumstances:
- The instructor feels compelled to refuse to meet the special needs request of the student and is unable to suggest an acceptable alternative to the student.

of emergencies can be minimized. For more information,

Workers’ Compensation
The Workers’ Compensation Board has signed a memorandum with Saskatchewan Learning and has passed a policy under authority of The Workers’ Compensation Act, 1979. Students who participate in an unpaid work-based learning program such as a practicum or internship are eligible for workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation is a collective liability no-fault protection plan for workers injured or killed by a chance event. Benefits (including long-term benefits) may include some compensation for medical expenses, lost future wages, permanent functional impairment and death.
To obtain a copy of the Act, the Board policy and the memorandum which details the rights and obligations of students, phone the Practical and Applied Arts Co-ordinator at Saskatchewan Learning (Regina information 787-6030).
