You can arrange supports at any time during the academic year and it is best to contact the disability team as early as possible so that any supports you require can be put in place without delay.
Follow these three steps to arrange supports:
- Ensure you have the correct supporting documentation which confirms your disability or diagnosis. Required documents are listed on our UCD Evidence of Disability Form. If you have multiple disabilities, please gather appropriate documentation for each disability.
- Make an appointment by emailing disability@ucd.ie. You will then be asked to complete a short form on SISWeb and upload your documents there.
- Following this, we will contact you with details of your Needs Assessment appointment.
Some Needs Assessments will take place by Zoom video call. If you would like more information on how to use Zoom, please see our Guide to Zoom Needs Assessments
All students who wish to register with UCD Access & Lifelong Learning for disability support will need to agree to both the Consent to Release Information Form and Privacy Statement.
International students should note that the supports available through your home institutions may be different from those available in UCD. It is important to note that the extra time available to students with disabilities in timed exams in UCD is 10 minutes per hour.
