The University of Ottawa is the largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world. Located in the heart of Canada’s capital, we have ready access to the great institutions of our country.
We are building the University of Tomorrow. Two decades into the 21st century, having taken stock of our extraordinary growth, we look to the future with confidence, ambition and vision, poised to complete our metamorphosis into an illustrious internationally-engaged university.
The College of Bytown was founded in 1848 by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate as a bilingual Catholic college; from its very beginnings, students studied in both English and French.
In 1866, the recently renamed College of Ottawa was elevated to university status by royal charter, and in 1889, it secured a pontifical charter. In 1965, the Oblates relinquished administration of the University and it became a provincially funded secular institution.
We power ideas through innovation and continuously seek opportunities to enhance and optimize the University’s resources and spaces. We nurture dynamic, sustainable, and inclusive physical and non physical environments that support the University’s academic mission and its learners. We enhance student experience, and promote community engagement in our rich, sustainable, and safe environments.

The Learning Specialists work to understand the disability-related functional limitations to then develop an academic accommodations plan. Our office takes into consideration University policies, procedures and administrative regulations, as well as the Ontario Human Rights Code.
