Lancaster University - Student Services - Disability Support

Students are encouraged to make themselves known to the Disabilities Service if they have long term medical problems or conditions, mental health issues, or dyslexia, especially if they have not previously let the University know about their situation. Support is friendly, practical and unpatronising.It's not about concessions or special advantages - it's about being fair to students who have a right to certain types of support for them to have an equal chance with all other students for successful study.

For an appointment with Christine Quinn, Disabilities Service Adviser, students should ring 01524 592111.
