This can be face-to-face within the Disability Advisory Service, or can be over the phone or via Skype if more convenient. In order to make certain arrangements, such as adjustments in exams, we would usually need to see evidence of your disability, health condition, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty. This can emailed to the service or brought along to your appointment. If you don’t have suitable evidence, you can still arrange to see an adviser and we can help with getting the necessary documents. Our service is confidential and the information we ask for is only passed on to other people in the university with your agreement, and then only to make sure you get the support you need. The Disability Advisory Service is open all year, from 10am to 4pm. We are based on the ground floor in the Carrington Building.
