It is important to note that International and non-uk EU students are not entitled to the UK Government allowances for disabled students and, whilst the University will make every effort to support you, it will be the responsibility of you and your sponsors to fund any additional support costs which arise as a consequence of your disability. Additional Funding Disabled students from outside the UK may find that they are eligible to apply for financial support to a charity or other funding body. The decisions on eligibility and amount of funding are made by them, not by the University. The Snowdon Trust applications considered from students who have physical impairment.

5 Services at Canterbury Christ Church University for disabled students The University s Student Disability Advice Team will be able to provide some support at no or little additional cost to you or your sponsor. This includes: access to assistive technology resources ability to record lectures and seminars possible short term loan of equipment where available reformatted examination papers extended Library loans adapted accommodation if available support from the Disability Advice Service Braille Transcription modified examination arrangements where appropriate There are additional services that you may require which will have a cost associated with them, and it is possible that the full or partial costs will be charged to you or your sponsor: sign language interpreters note-takers, readers, personal support workers individual learner support and dyslexia support equipment such as computers, digital audio recorders assistive software e.g. Jaws (except for that available on terminal services) familiarisation/mobility training It is imperative that you contact the Disability Advice Team before you accept the offer of a place, to discuss the cost of these services. If you do not have a sponsor, or another source of financial support to pay for any disability support, you should talk to the Disability Advice Team about this. However, please note that alternative sources of funding are likely to be limited (please see advice on funding above). Support with day to day living The University will provide some support for your academic needs, but cannot provide support for personal care and daily living tasks (for example, help with walking or mobility, shopping, cooking, and cleaning) this kind of support will need to be funded by you or your sponsor. Please note also that the University has only a limited range of adapted accommodation, and major adaptations to existing accommodation cannot be funded by the University, should you require them. You will need to think carefully about any non-academic, disability related support you may require whilst living and studying in the UK. The University may be able to advise you on agencies that can support you with your daily living (e.g. cooking, cleaning, shopping), but you will have to meet the cost of this support yourself. Please contact the Disability Advice Team to discuss before your application, as this kind of support must be planned and resourced well in advance. For more information please [email protected]
