Disability Support can help you manage ways to accommodate your disability or medical condition whilst at Uni so you can focus your energy towards your studies. We encourage you to register with our service as soon as you enroll in your courses, or as soon as possible, so that we have sufficient time to discuss the impact of your condition on your studies, and to put the right supports in place for you.

Registering with Disability Support will enable us to start discussing your needs with you and how we might be able to support you in your studies. If you have complex requirements, you can register before you have been made an offer of study.

The NDCO (National Disability Coordination Officer Program) has developed some useful pre-planning tool-kits for people with disability entering Higher Education.
