University can be a
challenging time, but the Student Accessibility Team can help you in overcoming
barriers to achieving your full potential whilst studying at Northumbria. This page outlines the support available for students with a condition
which meets the Equality Act (2010) criteria including:
- Physical conditions
- Sensory impairments
- Specific learning
differences (SpLD) including dyslexia and ADHD
- Social or communication
difficulty such as an autism spectrum condition
- Long-term mental health
conditions
If you meet this criteria you are advised to register with the
University's Student Accessibility Team who can work with you to put support in place before you arrive. Support can include a Student
Accessibility Plan (SAP) for additional support whilst you study. Plus, if you are a UK Student on an eligible course, you may also be able to apply for
Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) through Student Finance. Both support routes
should be applied for as early as possible to ensure your requirements are in
place from the start of your course.
