Support and assistance is available to students who have a disability or a specific challenge which makes learning more difficult. If you require adaptations to course materials (to accommodate visual impairments or other disabilities) you should contact the Access and Diversity office well in advance of your anticipated start date to discuss your requirements. Access and Diversity provides support and program initiatives designed to remove barriers for students with a disability or ongoing medical condition.
