You can attend a Needs Assessment before you've started your course if you've submitted an application for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and have received confirmation from us in writing you've been authorised to arrange a Needs Assessment.
This also applies if you're currently withdrawn from your course and intend to resume in future.
Students must not be advised by disability advisors or needs assessors to commit to any expenditure before we've sent approval.
Reimbursements will not be given for support or equipment provided before a DSA application has been submitted to us and a Needs Assessment has been carried out.
