Accessibility & Learning Support
A useful access conversation begins with the task you need to complete.
Plan before a barrier becomes urgent
Accessibility & Learning Support works with students on learning access, materials and coordination with teaching staff. Lena Hughes is the Accessibility Coordinator, based in Student Care House, Room 3.
Begin by describing the setting and the task: reading course material, participating in a class, navigating a visit or using a residential space. The team explains the next step and which information is needed for the particular request.
Learning arrangements
An individual conversation identifies possible accommodations and how agreed arrangements are communicated to the teaching team. Students should raise a change in their course or learning setting early so the arrangement can be reviewed.
Other places to start
- For a campus visit, speak with Admissions about routes, seating or another access need.
- For a housing arrangement, begin with Residential Life and ask for coordination with Accessibility.
- For a different format of website material, identify the page and the form that would help.
