Disabilities and learning difficulties (equal opportunities)
The Disabilities Team within Student Services is able to provide information and advice on all aspects of support for students with disabilities and long-term medical conditions. This may include:
- Assisting you with applications for financial assistance;
- Helping you to identify technology and other support appropriate to individual needs;
- Advising on study and arranging loan of equipment;
- Arranging appropriate teaching and examination arrangements;
- Assisting with the provision of scribes, readers, note takers or interpreters;
- Liaising with members of academic staff in relation to access to the curricula.
It is important to note that you must register your disability / medical condition to Student Services no later than 30 November for Semester 1 entrants and 31 March for Semester 2 entrants. Failure to meet these dates will mean that arrangements will not be put in place at the next exam diet.
Further information is available at Advice and Support.
In addition, students who have a temporary or permanent mobility problem but do not hold a 'blue badge' for their vehicle, can apply to Student Services to be considered for a staff permit. This can be issued for a limited period in the case of a temporary mobility problem. The issuing of a staff permit entitles the holder to park in any of the designated University car parks.
