Why register
If you register with us we can support you to succeed in your studies and make the most of university life. We will tailor support to your specific needs to ensure you have all you need.
When
You don't have to wait until enrolment to register for support. If you disclosed a disability when you applied for university you will be invited to register by email before you enrol. If you are a current student, you can register for support at any time during your studies.
Who
We support anyone who thinks they may need additional support with their studies due to any disability or long-term health condition including physical, mental health conditions or sensory impairments, neurodiversity and specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. A formal diagnosis is not always needed. If you’re not sure if you have a disability, get in touch.
How
You can register with Disabled Student Support by logging into My Student Record.
When you complete the registration, you will be asked to give details about your disability and how it effects your studies. You will be able to upload:
If you don’t have this evidence when you register, you can email it to disability-support@shu.ac.uk later.
What we do with your data
We understand that the decision to disclose your disability or long-term condition can be difficult. We store your information securely and will only share relevant information with your permission.
