D/deaf and Hard of Hearing students

Advice and support is available to any student who is D/deaf or has a hearing loss.
 
If you are D/deaf or Hard of Hearing you should come to a disability drop in session to see a member of the Disability Team. We will discuss your support needs with you and if appropriate, help you apply for Disabled Students Allowance.

When you come to a drop in session please make sure you have a copy of a doctor’s letter confirming your Deafness or hearing loss.

Examples of support from the Disability Team:

• Organising BSL/SSE interpreters & Note takers 
• Help with applying for Disabled Students Allowance
• Making reasonable adjustments for exams
• Provide information and advice in confidence
• Liaise with your department on your behalf if you have any course related concerns (with your permission)

All discussions are in confidence and information will not be disclosed without your agreement.

Students are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible to discuss their support needs as it may take some time to put support in place.
