With documentary evidence of your condition, we can help you to access individual reasonable adjustments including exam arrangements. You will need to meet with a member of our team for a Student Support Appointment to discuss and arrange your reasonable adjustments. 

If you are a new student with a disability, you are encouraged to take part in our Transition Programme, to discuss your individual support prior to the start of your course.
