The Return-to-Learn protocol is effective for elementary and high school-aged students, but it is difficult to implement in a postsecondary setting as it requires a level of monitoring not generally available through college or university student wellness centres. As a result, course instructors are often given the task of providing accommodations to help students recovering from concussion. This paper discusses the challenges facing the postsecondary student recovering from concussion and provides accommodation ideas and examples that instructors may find helpful.  \nLes commotions cérébrales sont des lésions fonctionnelles au cerveau qui peuvent provoquer des symptômes physiques, cognitifs et émotionnels ainsi que des troubles du sommeil qui ontdes répercussionssur l'apprentissage de l'étudiant. Le protocole de reprise des études est efficace pour les étudiants duprimaire et du secondaire, mais, comme il nécessite un certain degré de surveillance qui n'est pas communément offert dans les centres de bien- être étudiants collégiaux ou universitaires, sa mise en œuvre en contexte postsecondaire est ardue. Par conséquent, on demandesouvent aux enseignants de mettreen place des mesures d'adaptation pour aider les étudiants qui se remettent d'une commotion cérébrale. Cet article traite des difficultés auxquelles sont confrontés les étudiants qui se remettent d'une commotion. Il comprend des idées de mesures d'adaptation et des exemples que les enseignants pourraient trouver utiles.  \nConcussion is a traumatic brain injury  \ninduced by biomechanical forces that can  \nproduce physical, cognitive, emotional and sleep-related symptoms. These symptoms may appear immediately or several hours, or days, after the injurycausing incident. Because concussion is a disturbance in brain function, rather than damage to brain  \nstructure, it is not identifiable using standard imaging techniques such as X-ray, MRI or CT scan. Diagnosis and management rely heavily on monitoring injury symptoms and how they change. In many cases, these symptoms may resolve within two weeks for adults, but recovery has been shown to take longer in children and adolescents (Crowe et al., 2016; Purcell  \net al., 2016). Research examining concussion recovery in young adults (i.e. 18-22 years) is limited (Zuckerman et al., 2012). Current best practices for identifying and managing concussion are reported after each meeting of the International Conference on Concussion in Sport (McCrory et al., 2017) and suggest that a large majority of athletes recover clinically within one month of injury. The reported incidence of concussion is rising and we are seeing more students in our post-secondary classes who have sustained this injury, some of whom are still dealing with symptoms. The 6-step Return-to-Learn protocol (Parachute, 2016) works well to manage the return to the classroom for elementary and high school-aged students; however, it is difficult to implement in a postsecondary setting, as it requires individual management, gradual resumption of schoolwork andreintegration into classes, and potentially extensive modifications in workload and assessment (McGrath, 2010) . While some of these services may be available to college or university students through campus wellness centres, often these centres are limited to assisting cases of documented chronic or permanent disability, leaving individual course instructors with the responsibility for helping students with acute concussion symptoms that will resolve in a relatively short period.
