Disability support
The University supports students who have declared a disability, including specific learning difficulties (such as dyslexia and dyspraxia), long-term health conditions, mental health difficulties, mobility difficulties, sensory impairments and autism spectrum disorders.
Students are strongly encouraged to notify the Disability Advisory Service (DAS) as soon as possible if they have (or think they might have) a disability for advice about the range of study support available, and so that appropriate support arrangements can be made.
Not every disability is visible. If you are not sure if your health condition counts as a disability, or whether there’s any appropriate support that could be offered, contact our Disability Coordinator.
Suitable adjustments, depending on the nature of your condition and your course, could include:
- Access to lecture recordings
- Extended book borrowing times from libraries
- Extra time in exams
- Flexible deadlines
- Ability to type exams rather than handwrite them
- Ability to sit exams in College rather than at Exam Schools
A guide to accessing disability support can found on their website. Students can also contact the team to speak to a Disability Advisor who will be happy to answer any questions they might have via: email, phone (+44 (0)1865 280459), or in person at 3 Worcester Street, Oxford, OX1 2BX
Within St Antony’s, the disability contact is the Deputy Head of Academic Office.
