Get an official medical accommodation letter for your university or college in Calgary. Accepted by U of C, MRU, SAIT, Bow Valley College, and all Calgary institutions. Same day delivery from a CPSA-registered physician.
Calgary is home to over 80,000 post-secondary students across five major institutions: the University of Calgary, Mount Royal University, SAIT, Bow Valley College, and Ambrose University. During exam season (December and April), campus health centres across the city experience significant wait times, often 2 to 5 business days for appointments. Many Calgary students, especially those commuting from communities like Brentwood, University Heights, and the deep southeast, find it difficult to access timely medical documentation when they need it most. MedLetter provides same day physician letters that meet the documentation requirements of every Calgary institution.
Calgary has approximately 80,000+ post-secondary students across multiple institutions. During exam season, demand for accommodation letters surges significantly.

Calgary's five major post-secondary institutions serve distinct student populations with different documentation requirements. The University of Calgary, with over 35,000 students, is the city's largest research university and has a structured online deferral system through Student Centre. Mount Royal University serves 15,000 students and is known for its strict 24-hour medical documentation deadline. SAIT, with 13,000 students in trades and technology programs, requires its own Physician Statement Form. Bow Valley College serves 15,000 students, many of whom are newcomers to Canada navigating the academic system for the first time. Ambrose University is a smaller faith-based institution with approximately 1,200 students.
Each institution has its own process for handling medical accommodations, and understanding these differences is critical for Calgary students who need documentation quickly. MedLetter's physicians are familiar with the requirements of every Calgary institution and tailor each letter accordingly.
Calgary's geographic spread creates unique challenges for students seeking medical documentation. Students living in communities like Cranston, Tuscany, or Airdrie may face 30 to 60 minute commutes to reach campus health centres, only to find appointments booked days in advance. Walk-in clinics across Calgary report average wait times of 2 to 4 hours, and many close before evening students finish classes.
MedLetter eliminates these barriers by providing same day physician documentation from anywhere in Calgary. Whether you are a U of C student in University Heights, an MRU student in Lincoln Park, a SAIT student in the Beltline, or a BVC student downtown, you can get your accommodation letter without leaving home.
Many Calgary students work part-time while studying. Under Alberta Employment Standards Code Section 53.97, employers cannot require a medical note for absences of three days or fewer. However, academic institutions have their own documentation requirements that are separate from employment law. A school accommodation letter from MedLetter covers your academic needs, while a separate sick note (available for $49) can cover workplace absences if needed.
Yes. The University of Calgary accepts medical documentation from any CPSA-registered physician, including those provided through telehealth services. MedLetter notes include the physician's CPSA registration number, signature, and all information required by UCalgary's Office of the Registrar for deferred exam applications.
MRU has one of the strictest deadlines in Alberta: medical documentation must be obtained from a physician within 24 hours of the missed exam. MedLetter delivers your physician's letter within hours, well within MRU's deadline.
SAIT has its own Physician Statement Form for deferred exams and term work. A MedLetter physician can provide an equivalent official letter that contains all the same information SAIT requires. If your program specifically requires the SAIT form, contact us and we can accommodate that.
Yes. Bow Valley College accepts medical documentation from any licensed physician for exam deferrals, assignment extensions, and academic accommodations. MedLetter letters are issued by CPSA-registered physicians and meet BVC's documentation requirements.
MedLetter charges a flat fee of $99 for school accommodation letters. This covers the physician's assessment and an official letter tailored to your institution's requirements. There are no hidden fees, and the letter is delivered to your email same day.
If you need accommodation letters for multiple institutions, each letter is customized to meet that school's specific requirements. Contact us to discuss your situation and we can provide documentation for each institution.
