Student disability - guide for universities and colleges

We want to ensure that every student, whatever their background, is supported to access, succeed in, and progress from higher education. 

Supporting disabled students requires an effective and collaborative response across the higher education sector and beyond, so that disabled students benefit from a fulfilling higher education experience.  

We are committed to working with universities, colleges and other organisations to improve disabled students’ experiences of higher education.  

This guide is for higher education providers, and provides more information about our role in this area.

If you are a student, please see our student pages for more information about the support available for disabled students.
