Keeping current with best professional practices, standards, and research, CAL facilitates equal access to all university academic opportunities.

CAL is a core academic support unit for both students and faculty and contributes to the recruitment and retention of students as well as their academic and personal success.

This role is responsible for ensuring that accommodated examinations are carried out in accordance with University of Victoria regulations, and to provide students with a positive and supportive exam experience.
