Accessing support at BCU

Disability support

The Student Inclusion Team at BCU supports students who have a disability, a Specific Learning Difficulty (such as dyslexia or ADHD), an autistic spectrum condition, a long-term health condition or a mental health difficulty.

The team is available 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, except during Bank Holidays and Universtiy closures.

Services from our Student Inclusion Team include:

• Appointments and drop-ins, whichever BCU campus you are studying on.
• Screening, assessment and support for students with Specific Learning Difficulties e.g. dyslexia.
• Advice on screening and diagnosis for autism and ADHD
• Reasonable adjustments you may need for exams, assessments, teaching sessions and course materials and information.
• Help with applications for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs), UK government funding for disabled students.
• Study support workers e.g. mentors or study skills tutors to help develop study strategies.
• Advice about enabling equipment and software.
• Information about campus accessibility, car parking and other individual requirements.

If you think a disability or health condition is affecting your studies, please get in touch.
