Don’t worry if you don’t currently have documentary evidence of your disability, we would still encourage you to contact our team so that we can discuss the support that may be available to you, including:
- Specialist Study Skills
- Access to assistive technology software and spaces
- Student peer support programmes
- Access to Wellbeing Support
- Short-term, specialist mentoring
However, with documentary evidence of your disability we can discuss certain types of support, such as:
- Individual reasonable adjustments, that can be recorded through Student Support Recommendations (SSR) and shared with relevant teams across the University
- Exam arrangements.
Students with SpLDs:
If you have an SpLD and would like to find out more about reasonable adjustments and AERs, please see our guidance for students with SpLDs.
What evidence do I need to access reasonable adjustments?
- A letter / report from your doctor
Please ensure the following information is included within your letter / report:
1. Your diagnosis.
2. How long symptoms have been experienced.
3. The impact on studies AND impact on daily life.
How do I acquire this evidence?
