Welcome to the summer home for all things Student Accessibility Services at Trent University. We're glad you're here!
While these events are geared towards those attending Trent's Peterborough Campus, all students are welcome to attend.
If you are attending at Trent Durham, we would encourage you to attend the Durham SAS University Readiness Program to learn about campus-specific supports. More information can be found on the Trent University Durham SAS website.
This year #SAS101 will be held on Friday, August 14th, 2026 at the Peterborough campus.
Register for #SAS101 Friday, August 14, 2026
Can't join us for #SAS101 on August 14th? SAS will be hosting a workshop and table at Summer Connect on July 10th & July 17th.
SAS is open all summer long and we're able to meet for intake, advising and consultation appointments in advance of September.
We encourage you to complete our Pre-Intake Questionnaire prior to registering for #SAS101, however it is not mandatory to do before attending #SAS101. If you have already completed the questionnaire (any time after May 1st), there's no need to complete it again.
