Disability Support for Continuing Education Students

 

The University is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment to meet the needs of all students.  Please read the disability support information to ensure you can access the support available. We recognise that some disabled students may require individual adjustments in addition to the support available below.  If so, please contact olcedis@liverpool.ac.uk to discuss further.

As all of our courses are twelve weeks or less, we will endeavour to assist you as much as reasonably possible within this limited timescale.

Accessibility & Student Support

Mobility & Wheelchair Access

If you have mobility issues or use a wheelchair, please complete the Support Request Form.
Also, review the University's Emergency Evacuation Procedures.

If You Already Have a Support Plan

If you have a Student Support Information Sheet (SSIS), email it to conted@liverpool.ac.uk so we can inform your tutor of any necessary adjustments.
If a new SSIS is issued during your course, send it to us as soon as possible to ensure continued support.
