How do I apply for reasonable adjustments?

The Reasonable Adjustment process is for those students with chronic and long-term health conditions, disabilities, specific learning difficulties or mental health diagnosis. In order for reasonable adjustments to be considered for your programme of study, and assessment and examinations you will need to follow the process outlined below:

  • You will need to meet a member of the Disability Advice Team so that discussions can take place about the appropriate support the University can provide.  Usually, a Learning Support Plan is produced to support you in planning your learning and assessment. 
  • Where you have a Learning Support Plan in relation to a particular condition, you should seek advice from the Disability Advice Team if the condition causes additional issues.
  • The Reasonable Adjustment Process is in place so both you and the University are clear about what can be done to assist you as you manage your learning and assessment. However, exceptional circumstances can still occur which could not have been predicted through the Reasonable Adjustment Process. In these exceptional circumstances, you should follow the Exceptional Circumstances process.
