I have suggested to the admission people that perhaps they could add in some additional wording to echo the
University message in the prospectus that the College encourages applications from disabled students to further
demonstrate adherence to QAA precept no 7.
Admissions could comment further, but the Disability Office works with Admissions to ensure that prospective
students are encourage to disclose their impairments and liaise with this service at the earliest opportunity to
ensure that support is in place.
Registry- Enrolment/Registration could be taken under the general heading of Matriculation. Induction is
slightly different and doesn't really involve Registry as it's a university wide activity.
Matriculation website: http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/registry/matric
Meeting the entitlements of disabled students: When required we can tailor any element of the matriculation
process on an individual basis to meet the specific needs of disabled students.
There is information on this issue in section 12 of the degree programme specification template and guidance,
which are produced for each degree programme. This was included in the last revision in December 2010 so as
programmes are revalidated, and new DPSs produced, this information will be included. Please see:

Learning & Teaching
11. Both the design and implementation of
learning and teaching strategies and related
activities, as well as the learning
environment, recognise the entitlement of
disabled students to participate in all
activities provided as part of their
programme of study.
