FE Support Guide

12 13 Support for students who disclose a disability, health condition or mental health condition starts from application. If you have disclosed your disability, you will be contacted by a member of the Disability Support team to discuss your specific needs and additional support requirements. We can offer you an orientation or transition visit prior to starting your studies to support you in familiarising yourself with our campuses and finding your way around. Depending on your needs, you may be entitled to: DISABILITY SUPPORT In-class support from an Academic Support Worker Specialist equipment Personal Evacuation Plans and lift passes Support with accessing lectures, such as access to lecture materials in advance or handouts in an alternative format Exam concessions Digital recorders and assistive technologies to record lectures Olivia Iglesias Events student I have a hearing disability and the fact there was a specific disability support department was one of the main reasons why I chose to study here. They, and my lecturers, made everything very easy for me and gave me lots of support, including allowing me to do presentations instead of online debates when I needed to. I received financial assistance to help with my studies too. DID YOU KNOW? IF YOU RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AT SCHOOL, THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE SUPPORT AT COLLEGE.
