Disability, Dyslexia & Learning Support Service 

How Can We Help?

A confidential, one-to-one support service is provided for students prior to and throughout their university career by members of Student Services. The areas of support provided by the Disability Advisers include:

  • advisory visits to University prior to formal application
  • advice on diagnostic and needs assessments (dyslexia)
  • assistance with application for the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)
  • provision of note takers and communicators
  • recommendations on learning aids and enabling technology
  • information on disability benefits
  • links with outside agencies concerned with disability issues
  • advice on disability access
  • disability awareness training

To make an appointment to see one of the Disability Advisers call 01242 714541 or e-mail disability@glos.ac.uk

We are based in Student Services (Clegg Building Francis Close Hall) but run regular drop in sessions at the Park, Pittville and Oxstalls campuses within the Student Helpzones. If you have difficulty using University transport, we are more than happy to arrange meetings on all campuses.

For further information, please see our Disability, Dyslexia & Learning Support Service resource pages.
