We can liaise with your department at university regarding any impact that your condition may have on your studies.  In conversation with you, we can develop an individual support plan with recommendations for reasonable adjustments to examinations and in teaching.

This information is also relevant for students with long term medical conditions and mental health conditions.

You can choose an in-person or an online Teams appointment. In-person appointments are at Cherry Tree Lodge, University Park.

If you have never been assessed for specific learning differences (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADHD), we would usually suggest that you first complete a free initial online screening using the Do-It Profiler.

On completion of a series of questions and tasks, the Do-It-Profiler gives you a personalised report. Although it does not identify specific learning differences, the tool gives you information and resources, along with guidance to help you decide if you want a formal assessment. The Do-It-Profiler is not an exam - you cannot pass or fail it. 

Requesting access to the Do-It-Profiler

You will need to log-in to Studentlife to access resources, select Do-IT Profiler resource, to be sent the full details. 

Guidance documents:

• Do-It Profiler Results Guidance document to help you understand your results and consider next steps. 
  
• A step by step guide to arranging a formal diagnostic assessment (including examples of assessment providers and how to apply for means-tested help with assessment costs too, where applicable). 
  

If you need further advice:

Non term-time: our specialist Study Support Tutors offer short ‘Quick Query’ appointments to answer your questions during the holiday periods. Book ‘an SpLD quick query’ appointment.

Term-time: we offer weekly webinars to help you understand your Do-IT Profiler results and next steps. The next availability will be in October.  Check StudentLife for the next webinar.

If you require amendments to your exam accommodations that are listed in your Support Plan, please let us know so we can prioritise these requests.

You can review your Support Plan by following these steps: 

1. Go to NottinghamHub

The sunflower lanyard is a product of the Hidden Disabilities UK scheme.  It provides a visible sign that you have a hidden disability.
