How do I get support?
- To access Specific Learning Difference (SpLD) support, you will have to apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).
- If you already have a diagnosis of a SpLD, you can use your diagnosis assessment to apply for DSA when you apply for your full time undergraduate course.
- If you are an undergraduate who is not applying for any finance, or if you are a postgraduate student, you can apply for DSA on paper.
How can I get assessed?
- Book a free screening via Our Norwich Uni, by emailing spld.support@norwichuni.ac.uk or calling (01603) 977977.
What is the Disabled Student’s Allowance?
- If a SpLD/dyslexia is confirmed at your assessment, then you will be eligible to apply for the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).
- The next step is to make a feedback appointment with a Specialist Tutor. They will talk you through your diagnostic assessment report, answer any questions you may have, and help you apply for DSA.
- Further details on applying on the DSA can be found on the VLE
What support is available?
- If you get DSA and have your tutorials provided by the university, you can book tutorials with a Specialist Study Skills Tutor.
- Tutorials are available in hourly sessions, and must be booked in advance by emailing spld.support@norwichuni.ac.uk or calling (01603) 977977. Please do let us know if you are unable to keep an appointment with as much notice as possible.
