As an apprentice, you are eligible for a range of disability support.
Learner Adjustment Plan
We can support you throughout your time at University by providing support and reasonable adjustments, such as:
Deadline extensions
Examination adjustments
Teaching adjustments, such as getting information in advance or audio recording your lecture
You can access this support by following our process for getting a Learner Adjustment Plan (LAP).
Additional Learning Needs assessment
The Disability Support and Inclusion team-s Specialist Practitioner will meet with you to carry out this assessment to identify any support which is not already available to you via:
- your Learner Adjustment Plan,
- the University-s internal specialist support services, or
- the inclusive learning and teaching practices
We will create an Additional Learning Needs report alongside a reasonable adjustment agreement. This could include:
- additional equipment
- software
- 1 to 1 Support
We will apply to the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) to claim for this additional support.
Adjustments in the workplace
As degree apprenticeship students are also in employment, we recommend that you apply for the Access to Work fund to identify:
- adjustments you require in the workplace, and
- equipment and software that can support you in your professional role
