Your Mentor will work with you to identify any 'trouble' study spots and will discuss with you how to tackle work that you may find difficult because of your illness or condition. Your Mentor can help with study skills such as;

  • managing the academic workload
  • balancing academic work and any personal health difficulties
  • encouraging efficient study methods by developing individually tailored study strategies
  • identifying more effective time management
  • supporting an application for the DSA

Your Mentor can also;

  • liaise with your tutors or academic departments when required
  • recommend special exam arrangements
  • arrange access to support from the Library and the Assistive Technology Service
  • arrange other forms of learning support - for example, note-takers if required
  • liaise with your medical and health service practitioners if necessary
