DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTRE

The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) provides a confidential and accessible service for disabled students and those staff supporting them. It provides advice, guidance and support for prospective and current students. The DRC has a specialist advisory team who offer appointments, pre-admissions visits and the development of individual support plans. The DRC works with Colleges and Departments to ensure that students receive the right support during their studies. As well as providing advice and support the DRC co-ordinates practical individual non-medical help (NMH) including specialist mentoring and study skills, notetaking and study assistance. The DRC is located, with other frontline central student services, in the Student Services Centre.
