Equipment loans
If you not entitled to access external disability-related funding e.g. Disabled Students' Allowance, or have a delay obtaining your DSA equipment, we can loan you assistive technology to meet your needs during your studies.
DSA equipment
If you are entitled to external disability-related funding, such as Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), your DSA needs assessor will be able to talk to you about your specific equipment and software requirements.
If you experience any issues with your equipment or software provided to you via your DSA, or wish to upgrade prior to receiving the equipment, you’ll need to contact your DSA equipment supplier. Contact details will be available on your DSA funding approval letter.
