Accessibility support
Is a physical or mental health condition or disability affecting your studies? If you feel like you might need adjustments made to your learning experience our team of experts can assess your needs and recommend the best approach for you.
Refer yourself for support services
As well as accessing academic and wellbeing support services, you can request support through an online referral form and a specialist team within Student Life will be in contact with you. Your lecturers and unit coordinators can also refer you for customised support when you need it most. Referrals for academic and wellbeing support can only be made if you agree and it's still be up to you to accept the referral when it's actioned by teams within Student Life. This includes support for sexual harm or family and domestic violence or to see if you are eligible for financial support.
