Additional information regarding support at Newman

Disabled Students Allowance (DSA): If you have a long term medical condition, disability or specific learning difficulty you may be eligible to apply for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA), which pays for equipment and/or non-medical help you may need at university. DSA is not a loan and you don’t have to repay any funding, so don’t worry about adding to student debt.

Our service is not just here for students who consider themselves 'disabled'.  It is here for any students who have on-going physical conditions, mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety etc, Specific Learning Difficulties, hearing or visual loss etc.

Disability and Inclusion services provide advice and assistance to applicants and students who may require adjustments or arrangements to enable them to fully participate in student life. If you are thinking of coming to Newman University and need advice on what arrangements are available for you, please contact Rachael Hawkins, our Disability and Inclusion Manager or Lynne Whitlock, our Mental Health Adviser.
