Disabilities Service
Most colleges and universities
have a disability team, with
policies and special provision
for disabled students and those
with learning difficulties. Their
role is to help students get the
most out of their time at college
and ensure that wherever
possible, any special needs are
anticipated and met. If you
have a disability or medical
condition, or a mental health
issue, you should contact the
disability support co-ordinator
at the individual institution as
early as possible and before
you apply, so that they can
start planning appropriate
support.
Personal Tutors
You will be allocated a personal tutor (or equivalent) by your
academic department and usually invited to meet him or her in the
introductory week at the start of your course. Your personal tutor will
be your first point of contact for any problems or concerns you might
have at any time throughout your course.
Students' Union
All registered students are entitled to become a member of the Students' Union,
which provides a range of social and sporting facilities and services for all
students, as well as entertainment and, sometimes, shops. The SU is independent
of the institution's administration and has trained and experienced staff who can
give you up-to-date information about all aspects of student life.
