How Inclusive Education support works
In order for us to deliver support, various people who work for the University will need to know. However, you can be sure that only those who need to know will be told, and they will respect your privacy.
There will be nothing on your academic record or on your qualification to show that you have had support.
Inclusive Education complies with the Health Information Privacy Code (1994).
Disability Action Plan
The Disability Action Plan is an important part of the University's commitment to equity of access for all learners. It focuses on creating an inclusive and accessible environment that enables disabled tauira to participate in all aspects of learning and research including cultural, social, on-campus accommodation, and extra-curricular activities.
