Students with Disabilities

Many students with disabilities have studied successfully at the Institute, where staff are encouraged to help all students to develop their gifts and abilities to the fullest possible extent. All students have strengths and weaknesses, some of which may affect their studies. Students who have special disabilities may seek special consideration.

Students who have disabilities that may affect their studies are asked to indicate this on their Application for Enrolment form and to inform the local Centre Director at the commencement of the course. Tutorial staff will consider this if the needs are made known in the appropriate manner and time.

Having a disability will not exempt students from being required to meet the necessary course requirements and standards. Tutors will be available to help students meet these requirements.

Students are expected to seek advice, help or assistance before, rather than after, submitting their assignments.

Personal information about students' disabilities will be kept confidential, as far as possible.
