Registering with TUS Disability Service
The most important first step for the student when
they enter TUS is to register with the Disability
Service. Following registration, a Needs Assessment
is carried out with the student to determine what
level of support a student requires based on the
appropriate evidence of disability provided by
the student. We also consider the impact of their
disability and their academic course requirements.
During the needs assessment, recommendations
are agreed with the student regarding which
reasonable accommodations will be put in place.
To register please see the contact details shared
below or Registration pages on the website.
