Visual Impairment

Advice and support is available to any student who has a visual impairment.
 
If you have a visual impairment you should come to a 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 (or any other medical professional) letter confirming your visual impairment.

Examples of support from the Disability Team:

  •  Organising mobility support workers
  •  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)

The Assistive Technology Centre has a range of equipment and software that may be useful to you.

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.
