I have a medical condition or disability that means that I will need extra support at University - what do I need to do to make sure I get the help I need?

Universities and colleges welcome applications from people with disabilities, special needs or medical conditions and try to provide as much support as possible. You can find out more information about this by using the National Bureau for Students with Disabilities (SKILL) website.

If you need support in your studies, accommodation or daily living you should contact your chosen universities and colleges before you apply and make sure that you give details on the relevant section of your UCAS form. Your chosen universities or colleges will need to know as soon as possible the nature and extent of your disability, special need or medical condition and any arrangement/support that you have needed, or found helpful, in the past. This is so that they have time to organise support, purchase special equipment etc.They will consider your application on the same academic criteria as all the others and any medical information will remain confidential.
