Disability advice
There is a range of support available to students with a diagnosed disability. According to the Equality Act 2010, a disability is any physical or mental impairment that has substantial and long-term negative effects on your ability to carry out normal daily activities. You may find that it is something that also affects your ability to complete your studies effectively.
It is important to note that even if you do not have a diagnosed disability, there is still support available at the University of Lincoln for you. However, these pages will look into specific disability-related support including Disabled Students Allowance, a Learning Support Plan and will also have further details into what types of disability or impairments there are.
