The Disability Office refers all students with disabilities to the Library Access Support service who provides a comprehensive range of services for students with disabilities. SPECIFIC LEARNING DIFFICULTIES (DYSLEXIA) Mature students who experienced problems at school are often unaware that these problems may result from their being dyslexic. Whilst dyslexia cannot be cured, you can learn strategies, which make studying significantly easier. If you think you may be dyslexic you should contact the Disability Office who can screen you and where appropriate refer you to an Educational Psychologist for a dyslexia assessment. These assessments cost 215. Some students can receive assistance in meeting this cost from their employer. In exceptional cases students may receive assistance from the Access to Learning Fund. 13

14 EXAMINATIONS Students with disabilities and dyslexia may be eligible for special arrangements for examinations e.g. extra time, use of a word processor, amanuensis, enlarged examination papers etc. In order to receive special arrangements a student must provide medical evidence of their disability (or, if you are dyslexic, an Educational Psychologists report) to the Disability Office as soon as they enrol on the programme. The examinations office will then receive this information from the Disability Office in order to make special examinations arrangements. For in-class tests you should contact your lecturer and the programme administrator to request special arrangements at least 2 weeks before the examination. 2.5 STUDENT FEES Student fees are payable on either a monthly, termly or annual basis. Student fees are decided by individual student status: the status categories are set out below. More detailed information on fees can be found on the Birkbeck website: Enrolled students All enrolled students attending a full programme year will usually be charged the applicable full fee. Repeating (retaking) modules Where students need to retake modules, i.e. re-attend classes, and are not paying programme fees, a pro rata fee will be charged. Assessment Only resits or deferrals Where a student is not attending classes but has access to College facilities (Library and workstation rooms) and is registered for one or more assessments, an administrative fee of c. 300 p.a. may be charged. Break in studies Where a student has permission to take a break in studies, no fee is applied if the break is for the whole year.
