The University of Nottingham is committed to equality of opportunity for all its students; it is also mindful of its requirement to comply with legislation affecting access to Higher Education specifically the Disability Discrimination Act and more recently the Equality Act 2010. The University will arrange for assessment of the requirements of its disabled students and make recommendation for suitable equipment and services. Liaison is undertaken with potential funding sources for the equipment and services required.
