Exam Access Arrangements

Depending on your needs, you may require some Examination Access Arrangements. The Disability and Dyslexia Service can advise you on how to make an application.

Specialist one-to-one support

Once you have received a diagnosis of a SpLD and have met with an adviser from the Disability and Dyslexia Service, you can discuss the possibility of Specialist One to One Study Skills Support (and/or Specialist Mentoring for students with a diagnosis of ADHD).

Library support

The Library offers special facilities for students with disabilities; for example, you can request to extend loans for an extra week when borrowing books. A small number of individual study carrels are available to students with disabilities, (e.g. if you have a condition that affects your concentration and need to study on your own). Find out more on the Library's website.
