A guide to disabled students
allowance SPECIAL EXAM PROVISION
We have considerable experience of, and have been very successful at making special arrangements for LDD students. However we must point out that special provision depends very much on allowances being granted by the Examination Boards.
It is very important that you notify Learning Support as early as possible if you believe that you are entitled to special provision so that the College can make an application on your behalf.
In some cases an updated assessment by the Educational Psychologist may be required.
Special arrangements may include:
- Up to 25% extra time
- Taking examinations in a specially prepared room
- Specially prepared scripts e.g. enlarged type, coloured paper
- Readers, Amanuenses (script writer), Transcription.
- Provision of computers
- Rest breaks
