If you have not quite got what you have expected from the results, there are still things you can do. If you feel the grade doesn’t reflect your efforts, talk to your college about the appeals process. However, if the appeal process isn’t necessary, there is still the option of clearing, or adjustment if you have received better results than you were expecting.
Note: with adjustment, you have until the 31st of August 2020 to utilise the adjustment process.
It’s essential to know how accessible the university you go to is, along with the surrounding city it’s located in. If you have been to the open days if the universities you have applied to, you will already have a good sense of this. If not, get in touch with the disability team at your prospective university choices and ask specifically about the accessibility of your course building, the library, student union and sports facilities such as their gym.
One of the most important things to get right is your PA support. As a disabled student, getting the right support is key to maximising all the amazing opportunities that will come your way throughout university. As former students ourselves, we know this better than anyone that the right support can eliminate so many barriers that your disability creates.
Having the right support will not only give you the confidence and ability to make the most out of every lecture and seminar by assisting you to interact with course mates, but also live a rich social life by assisting you at uni society events, sports events and, when they finally open, bars and nightclubs!
Having PAs who match with your personality, hobbies and your interests can make your experience at university much more accessible and enjoyable.
