DISABILITY SERVICES If you meet with barriers to studying as a result of a long-term condition or impairment, we can provide support throughout your time here at Bangor. We are a long-established friendly and professional service and receive excellent student feedback. Alongside Disability Services, Disability Tutors promote and inform inclusive and accessible provision in our academic Schools.

Tell us your requirements It is best to make contact early so that we can discuss your requirements with you - we contact everyone who ticks the disability box on their UCAS form. No need to wait until you enrol – if you have an offer you can register online with Disability Services 60 days prior to enrolment to ensure support is in place wherever possible for the start of your course.
Personal Learning Support Plan (PLSPs) PLSPs set out arrangements and strategies to overcome barriers to studying, such as extra time in examinations. Our unique PLSP app ensures that your information is shared in confidence, with your permission and on a need to know basis to ensure your individualised arrangements are in place.
Assessments for specific learning differences (SpLDs) Students who have not already been assessed for SpLDs (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or attentional difficulties) can have an informal screening and full diagnostic assessment where necessary.
Bangor University Access Centre Disabled Students Allowances (DSAs) help to meet extra course costs students can face as a direct result of disability. Our accredited assessment centre helps students to apply for DSA funding and carries out study needs assessments.
Students with mobility difficulties If you experience mobility difficulties, you are advised to come along to the University – staff will be pleased to show you around so please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
