HOW WE SUPPORT YOU
Students with disabilities and/or Specific
learning difficulties
Our specialist Special Educational Needs and Disability
(SEND) and Additional Learning Support Team are
committed to supporting all students with disabilities/
learning difficulties in college, regardless of what they
study. They schedule regular reviews and work closely
with programme tutors to provide support and guidance,
ensuring a student’s individual needs are met.
We have dedicated areas for you to study with access to
a range of assistive hardware and software. You may be
eligible for the Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA) to
help cover any additional costs.
The team can provide one-to-one
support for a range of needs, including:
• Autistic spectrum conditions
• Deaf or hard of hearing
• Dyslexia and other specific
learning difficulties
• Medical conditions
• Physical disabilities
• Social and emotional needs
• Visual impairments
Financial support
The College’s HE Student Finance team can help
with Student Finance and administers a range
of funds to support students facing financial
difficulties. Some types of support may depend
on your household income, the programme you
are enrolled into, and your age.
Please refer to Fees and Funding on page 14
for more information on the types of financial
support available.
(Please note our HE Student Finance Team is a
separate entity to Student Finance England).
