This place is such a waste of time. It's a total headache to register with them in the first place (they expect documents upon documents) and then, once you are registered, you have to keep jumping through hoops to get any help whatsoever. Advisors are often rude and dismissive, and the solutions they do offer are very one-size-fits-all (and often quite ableist). Oftentimes, reaching out to them is more effort than it is worth; chances are, they'll just make you feel bad for seeking out their services in the first place by heavily implying that you're just trying to cheat the system. How compassionate! So yeah, if you're looking for a safe space where you will be listened to without further stigmatization... this is not the place for you. Basically, this centre exists so that UBC can get clout for supporting \diversity\ without actually doing anything to help the same people it ostensibly exists for. What a joke!!

Very unhelpful centre and rude people! It's very disappointing! The university needs to do something about this, beyond the tokenistic approach or performance to pretend that they care about people with disability! Why shouldn't this centre be directed by people with disability who can truly comprehend the students' problems! Rather than trying to assist to solve the issue, they look upon it strictly as rigid cases! No use, this might work, but for sure not properly!
In the first month of dealing with them they lost hard copies of my personal information and never found it. During my four years of dealing with them they were consistently rude and unhelpful.
One of the receptionists at the front counter is super rude. She made me feel embarrassed and ashamed for going into the office to ask for help. Maybe practice what you preach and fire her UBC? Judging by the reviews on google I'm not the first to experience this from your office.
Least accessible accebility center ever. I need an operation for an ongoing disability done and given a week (the moment I found out I could get the operation) they told me they can do nothing this. The problem is more with UBC and their slow movement in many areas, it begs the question for any student what do we do if there is we have emergencies. Pathetic.
