Can I access additional support?
Applicants with disabilities or learning difficulties should note that the decision to offer a place on a course is made only on the selection criteria outlined on the interview guidance pages. However, you should note the following:
If you normally have additional time for examinations or tests, or large font type, or any other specific arrangements, please inform the Admissions Office by completing the online form. Please provide a copy of your LA ‘statement’ or a letter from your school, college or employer to confirm that additional time for tests is a requirement. If you require a BSL interpreter, it is important that you tell us about this and that you allow at least 5 working days for us to locate one for you. Unfortunately, there is a very limited supply of suitably qualified BSL interpreters and, therefore, the demand for these is high.
If you would like any confidential advice or information on Edge Hill University’s student support services for students with disabilities or learning difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact our Inclusion Team: [email protected]or give the team a ring on 01695 657568.
