STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Consistent with the University’s policy of
equal opportunity in education and to
ensuring that students with disabilities
have as complete and equitable access to all facets
of University life as can be reasonably provided,
the Office of Students with Special Needs [OSSN]
assists students with special needs with appropriate
provisions throughout their stay at the University.
Students with any form of disability may find the
OSSN helpful. In addition to identifying their
personal needs, the OSSN endeavours to provide
support in the form of braillers, readers, interpreters,
enlarged prints, note-takers and alternative
examination arrangements.
These support services are not preferential
treatments, but are aimed at ensuring equal
opportunity and access for students with disability
to achieve optimum academic outcomes. Students
with the under listed categories of physical/
health challenges or any other special needs are
encouraged to register with the OSSN.
