Information for Disabled Students

Important information regarding access for students with mobility impairments but without transport attending the ECC for their exams.

Disabled students who have mobility issues and who do not have independent transport are advised not to walk from the Frenchay campus to the ECC. This includes students who are wheelchair-users. Students should contact their faculty so that suitable transport can be arranged. Unless evidence has already been provided for the purposes of examination arrangements, students with mobility issues will be required to provide evidence of their impairment e.g. a doctor's letter or a copy of their assessment of educational support needs.

Transport will be available by arrangement only and the pick up point will be at the Q block entrance of 'The Hub'. 

General Information for Disabled Students

If you feel you may have difficulties with examinations due to an impairment, medical condition or specific learning disability it is your responsibility to make Disability Service aware of your needs and to provide appropriate supporting evidence. For assistance please contact infopoint@uwe.ac.uk or go to any of the three Information points which can be found in 1D03, S and Q block.
