Registering for assistance
Students are able to register their disability on the enrolment form; access to this information is VERY RESTRICTED.
Contact the Student Support Officer in your Faculty as soon as possible, and complete the confidential Advice of Medical Condition or Disability form and attach supporting evidence of your condition.
Prospective students are encouraged to advise us of their disability prior to enrolment, so that the university can plan to meet their needs and make the transition to University as easy as possible.
Special examination conditions: Students can also request alternate examination conditions - complete the Request for Alternative Examinations Conditions form; this should be done as early as possible.
