Ventus Support

Create and access your Ventus account to view and manage accommodations.

Ventus is an online portal that connects students, instructors, Queen's Student Accessibility Services, and other support services in the process to request, assess, and implement academic accommodations. The portal was developed for Queen’s in 2021-22, in consultation with instructors, support staff, and student feedback groups.
