Services for disabled students
If one of your students has declared a disability please ask them to talk to the Disability Support Team and we will work with them to find out about the enhanced services they require.
We also have specialist study rooms at Curzon and Mary Seacole Library
Support off campus and distance learners
If your students are not able to access campus or are on placement they can access our online resources and get help via 24/7 Chat. They can also apply to SCONUL to access a university library that is more convenient for them.
If you have distance learners and they live in the UK they can request a postal loan.
