COSTAATT’s Disability Declaration Statement
Persons living with disabilities MUST declare their disability by contacting the Department of Health, Counselling and Student Support Services. These disabilities may include, but are not limited to, physical, psycho-emotional, neurodivergent, and other impairments. A disability does not disqualify applicants from admission to COSTAATT. Rather, declaring a disability ensures that we fully understand your specific needs and can proactively collaborate with you to provide reasonable support and accommodations.

Placement Tests
- Applicants who receive an offer of a place in a programme may receive a placement assessment invitation from the Admissions Department. Do not be alarmed! If you do not pass or do as well as you expect, this will not affect your entry into the College.
- You may be exempt from taking the evaluations in English Language and Mathematics if you already meet the requisite level of achievement. The results of these assessments help us determine whether you may benefit from academic support. If needed, we will place you in the appropriate level course to help you succeed in your major.
- Please note that placement assessments are conducted online.
Remember, this is an important step towards your academic success!
