Make sure you fill out the ‘Support Required’ section on your application form if you have a learning difficulty, disability, medical need or other learning need that you need to make us aware of.
We will get in touch when we receive your application with details of the referral process.

Current students
If you are enrolled on a course and want to refer yourself to the SEND & Additional Learning Support department, you will need to complete a referral form and provide with it a copy of any associated evidence of your support needs. You can also ask one of your class tutors to help you complete the referral process.

- Visit our SEND & ALS helpdesk on level three of The David Hockney Building

Please note: If you indicated support needs during the enrolment process you will have received information on how to refer yourself.
If you want, your tutor can contact us for you. We will then contact you directly – we don’t take any action unless we have talked to you and have your agreement.
Or you or your tutor can fill in a Referral Form and email it to us. The appropriate member of staff will then contact you.
International students
You need to tell us in advance about any learning support needs you have, so we can plan and make sure you have a supportive learning environment.
