University/College Open Days - Students with Specific Learning Difficulty

Universities and colleges have an obligation to provide for students with disabilities including SLD and should be very positive to such students.
During an Open Day make contact with Student Support Services, they will usually have a display in the exhibition area, so that you can determine what provisions they offer. Most universities have separate tutors e.g. for dyslexia, and also have a specific support tutor in each department.

When you complete your UCAS application make sure you check the box for 'Disability', this will ensure that the College or University is aware and your short listed choices will send you specific information. Once you have submitted your initial short listed choice, you may be invited to a Departmental Open Day, or an interview (much rarer these days); if you are, it is an opportunity to arrange an appointment with Student Support Services, it all helps to get a feel for a place.
