Our Policies
The University is firmly committed to providing the widest possible access to those individuals who seek to benefit from its educational activities and remove barriers to those with disabilities where possible.
Disclosing disability
Tell us about yourself and your disability Arranging appropriate individual disability support depends first of all on you telling the Service about your circumstances and needs. Evidence of your disability is required before adjustments to suit your individual needs can be made. The evidence required depends on your disability. The Student Support Officers can advise you on the provision of disability-related evidence.
A first appointment will be arranged to assess of the student’s disability/ies and during the second appointment the student will be informed about the provisions the University can offer. This will take place prior to receiving an offer letter of acceptance. The Student Support Office can guide you through this procedure.
