For Needs Assessors

Students are encouraged to meet with a Disability Adviser to discuss their support needs and agree on a Student Support Plan. This plan includes details about the student’s study difficulties and our recommended reasonable adjustments, including accommodations for exams. With the consent of the student, the Student Support Plan is shared with appropriate academic and support staff. Please note that exam accommodations must be agreed and communicated to the exams team at least 4 weeks prior to an exam.

Loan equipment is available including digital recorders, laptops and assistive software. A student can speak with a Disability Adviser if they feel they require loan equipment until their DSA is approved and received.
