Disability Service

Disability advisers are available as the first point of contact for any student or potential student who has a disability or specific learning difficulty. They can offer a range of provisions and specialist support to:

• Any matriculated student of the University with a disability.
• Any potential student of the University, with a disability.
• Any parent or representative of this group.
  

Liaison with academic departments Our service works closely and successfully with academic departments and student academic advisors to support disabled students. Each department has a DDC or Departmental Disability Co-ordinator Contact responsible for addressing and promoting the needs of disabled students within their department.

Campus physical access issues Enquiries concerning disability access issues can be addressed directly to David Hasson in Estates and Buildings physicalaccessissues@gla.ac.uk

The student disability assessment record historically known as ' THE PINK FORM ' is now online on WEBSURF. This is designed to promote ongoing communication between the student, a Disability Adviser, and the relevant staff member in the academic department concerened. Recorded on the form are details of the student's needs and their particular requirements. It should be noted that the Assessment of Needs is based upon the individual student rather than on a named disability. These requirements may be updated following re-assessments throughout the student's university career.
