Disability information

The University of Nottingham is committed to promoting access for students who have a disability, a specific learning difficulty and/or a long-term medical condition. We provide services which aim to enable students to fulfil the inherent requirements of the course as independently as possible.

What we need you to do

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure the University is aware of his/her individual requirements. Students who have a disability, specific learning difficulty (such as dyslexia) or long term medical condition are urged to inform their tutors and the Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) for the Department (see below). Letting us know what you might need at an early stage will help us to help you.

What we can offer you

The University's Disability Statement listing services, facilities and opportunities available throughout the University can be viewed here or through the link on the right.

If you have any requirements or concerns talk in the first instance to your Department Disability Liaison Officer or contact your personal tutor.

Student Services

The University's Student Services offer a range of academic and practical support for all students. They can provide information about Disabled Students' Allowances (DSA's) and, as a registered ACCESS Centre, the assessments required by LEAs. The SSC is also responsible for making recommendations for alternative arrangements such as those required in examinations, assessments and for timetabling.
