• I am a disabled student and need additional support. Who should I contact?
If you have a disability that affects your ability to study or your university life you
should contact the Student Disability Service. They will advise you and will, if
appropriate, arrange for additional support to be put in place. Please remember that
you must provide documentary evidence of your impairment, no matter how obvious
it may be.

• I have additional support in place and plan to spend time away from the
University as part of my programme of study, for example on work placement or
studying abroad. What should I do?
You should contact the member of staff responsible for your placement. They will be
able to advise you on its suitability. If you are not sure who to speak to, contact your
School Student Support Officer or Teaching Organisation.

• I am a disabled international student. What documentation do I need to bring?
You will need to provide documentary evidence of your impairment, no matter how
obvious it may be. If the documentation is not in English you will need to provide a
translation, so it is important that you allow time for this.
Information on the documentary evidence needed:

• I am a disabled student studying by online distance learning. I do not live in
Edinburgh. What support can I receive and how can I access this?
It depends on what course you are studying, whether you are a UK or international
student and whether your course is full or part time.
Please contact the Student Disability Service to discuss.
