Inclusive Education At St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Mumbai

Inclusive Education Policy

The college offers admission based on merit to all students with and without disabilities and has laid down a Disability Inclusive Education Policy. The policy aims to codify all the provisions that have existed for the past several years into a single document. It is being implemented by the college through its department for Students with Disabilities and the Enabling Committee. In case of any ambiguity or for any information, contact Ms Poonam Deokar/Mr. Ketan Kothari from XRCVC at poonam.deokar@xaviers.edu / ketan.kothari@xaviers.edu or 022 22623298/22626329.

Inclusive Education Accommodation Request Process

It is imperative for students with disabilities who seek to have any accommodations during their course of study to complete the process of submitting the Inclusive Education Accommodation/Continuation Form within 15 days from the start of the new academic year for the specific class.

Any delays in not meeting the deadline to submit the form will be taken as the student not needing any accommodations. It should be kept in mind that if the student has not filled out the accommodation intake form, the college is not mandated to provide any accommodation services.

It may further be noted that, in certain cases, if accommodation needs are identified later or due to some condition the form could not have been filled, the latest the students can submit the request for accommodation/change of accommodation may be 15 days prior to the upcoming examination. Failing this, the request will not be accepted.

  • F.Y.J.C: 15 days from the first day of college
  • First-year degree college: 15th July 2024.

The student will be granted their accommodation letter after being passed by the Enabling Committee.

The students are then expected to share a copy of this letter with all teachers teaching them. The student is also expected to share the letter with any new teacher who starts teaching them during the year. The students must do this within seven days of being issued the letter or within seven days of a new teacher starting to teach. If the student fails to share this letter with their respective teachers the college may not be in a position to provide the support granted.

In case of any grievances with the accommodations granted or special requests not included in the form, the students may approach the principal at principal@xaviers.edu.

In case of any queries please contact Ms Poonam Deokar/Mr Ketan Kothari, XRCVC, swdc@xaviers.edu / shalini.dubey@xaviers.edu 022-22623298/22626329.
