We want to make sure that disabled students can complete their exams and will work with you to identify and recommend appropriate reasonable adjustments. Examples include:
- Additional time allowances
- A scribe
- A small group room
- Rest breaks
Arranging exam support
In order to access this support, you will need to contact the Disability Advice and Guidance Team and provide appropriate evidence of your disability. A member of the team will then be able to discuss your individual needs and recommend reasonable adjustments for your exams.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to exam timetabling requirements, you will need to have provided supporting evidence and met with a Disability Adviser, prior to the university administrative deadline. Recommendations made after the deadline date for that semester cannot be implemented until the next assessment period.
Deadline dates for each exam period in 2025/6 are:
Semester One deadline: 14th November 2025
Semester Two deadline: 13th March 2026
Resit period deadline: 7th July 2026
Reviewing your exam support
If you think the exam support that is in place needs reviewing, please contact us.
