Welcome back to study...

Hi

Welcome back to study. Now that study period 5 has started, it is a good time to get in contact with a Disability Advisor to arrange or update your Access Plan.

An Access Plan you ask - whats that?
An Access Plan documents information about the impact of your disability/medical condition on your studies, it makes comment to the services and exam arrangements that may be required. This is based on the supporting information given to the Disability Advisor about your disability/medical condition. An Access plan can be implemented for situations such as a broken leg, recent surgery (temporary disability/condition) or an established health issue (permanent disability/condition).

Please let us know if;-

you need to arrange an Access Plan or modify your existing Access Plan

your health circumstances have changed and are impacting on your study

you may have a placement this study period and your medical condition/disability may impact on this

does your medical condition/disability impact on how you will access your courses?

you need to modify or arrange exam requirements

It is best to act now

All the best for this study period!
