How to access disability support for your studies

Let us know you wish to access disability-related study support as soon as possible.

You can do this before you arrive via your UCAS / University application form or at any time during your studies.

 

Before you arrive

If you have told us about your disability on your application form and accept an offer of a place to study here, we will contact you during the summer period to introduce our team and to explore your support needs.

If you have not shared this information on your university application form and wish to, email Disteam@Liverpool.ac.uk to let us know.

During your studies

If you require disability support during your studies, please ensure you register with Disability Advice and Guidance as soon as possible. This will help us provide the appropriate reasonable adjustments and support tailored to your needs.

To complete your registration, you will need to:

  1. Register via our online form.
  2. Upload supporting documentation that outlines your disability or medical condition within the registration form.  This documentation is essential for us to assess your study-related needs.
  3. After registration, if you have any additional documentation, it can be uploaded using the Student Services HUB.

 Providing supporting documentation

We require supporting documentation regarding your disability before support can be arranged. The type of document that we require will depend on your individual circumstances, but may for example be a doctor’s or specialist’s letter or Educational Psychological Report. 

Request a review

Do you have a Student Support Information Sheet (SSIS) and need to discuss your current support? Use this form to request a review with the Disability Advice and Guidance team.
