Advice for Students with a Disability

Ten musts for students with a disability and/or impairment:

  • Get as much information as possible. It pays to make sure you are choosing the right programme or course of study.
  • Talk to us early. Book an appointment with the Disability Support Service staff – Disability Co-ordinator or Student Advisor - Disabilities before you enrol at Manukau Institute of Technology
  • Bring with you evidence of disability.
  • Find out what is available to meet your needs
  • Be up front about any services, resources, alternative print formats, alternative examination arrangements you need
  • Talk to current students to find out what the programme involves. Get an idea of the workload and pressures you will face
  • We encourage you to use your initiative to sort out problems with the help of the Disability Support team
  • Access any computer equipment you may require now and become familiar with it before the programme starts. Most programmes expect you to word-process your assignments and use computers for research.
  • Know your rights. Get up to speed with the Human Rights Act
  • Realising your success will be your responsibility
