Institutions can provide services and assessment adjustments for students who have disabilities and ongoing illnesses that affect their studies. Institutions use the term 'disability' to include a wide range of illnesses as well as physical, sensory, learning and psychiatric disabilities.
Disability services staff at each institution can provide advice and information when you are preparing for university study.
If you have a disability or ongoing illness that may disadvantage you during your studies, you can include this information in your application.
Any information you provide will help the institution meet your education needs and will only be seen by disability services staff. You are encouraged to contact the Disability Officers at the institutions to which you have applied to discuss your education needs. We also recommend visiting the Get Ready for Uni website.
The support services and physical access may differ from institution to institution, but the services generally offered include: note takers, personal readers, examination provisions, assistance in the library, learning assistance, alternative assessment methods, and provision of academic material in alternative formats. Some institutions may provide parking for holders of RTA mobility access permits.
You may also be eligible to apply for Educational Access Schemes.
