Special Arrangements for Examinations (Disability)
If you have a disability that could significantly impair your performance in examinations, you can apply for special arrangements to be made for your examinations and departmental tests. For additional information regarding special arrangements for exams, see the Examinations - Students with Disabilities webpage.
The final date for applications is Thursday, 24 May 2012 for mid-year examinations and Thursday, 4 October 2012 for end-of-year examinations.
To apply for special arrangements for examinations and tests during the academic year and Summer School programme, you must contact the Disability Resource Service to make an appointment to see a Disability Resource Coordinator.
You will need to
- Register with the Disability Resource Service, and
- provide a letter from a doctor or other appropriate disability professional to support the application.
The application is considered on behalf of the Academic Committee (AC) and a resolution is made.
Departmental tests
You must confirm the dates and arrangements for departmental tests with the Academic Department Administrator. You should do this as soon as possible after you have received written confirmation of special arrangements. The Disability Resource Service will send a copy of the approval letter to each of the academic departments in whose subjects you are enrolled. Please note: If you enrol in a new course after you have received the approval letter, you must inform the Disability Resource Service so that an approval letter can be sent to that Department.
Summer School
Special arrangements for examinations that are approved for the year also hold for Summer School courses in the November - December programme of that year and the January - February programme of the following year. You will need to contact the department regarding the special arrangements you have approval for as these are arranged by the departments.
