Disability Support
Support for Disabled Students in Examinations
Disabled students have the right to reasonable adjustments during examinations to ensure they are not disadvantaged compared to their non-disabled peers.
If you are already registered with the Disability Service, any agreed exam adjustments are documented in MyCampus. You can review the exam adjustments that have been agreed upon for you by following Exam Adjustments.
The Exams Team utilises the information stored on MyCampus to implement your adjustments. Prior to each exam session, the Exams Team will communicate details about your adjustments to your School(s), who will then email you to confirm which arrangements have been put in place.
If you do not currently have adjustments in place but anticipate requiring them, it is advised to complete a Study Support Request (SSR) to register with the Disability Service. Disabled students in need of adjustments are strongly encouraged not to postpone completing an SSR, and to submit the SSR well in advance of the deadline. Failure to submit your SSR by the deadline or without supporting evidence may result in adjustments not being in place for the current or upcoming exam session. These adjustments will, however, be implemented for subsequent sessions.
