Students with Disabilities/Medical Conditions

At Kingston College we welcome applications from all students. We consider each application individually and aim to provide all students with high quality tuition and support. This is part of our wider commitment to equal opportunities.

Information regarding your disability or additional support needs will be dealt with sensitively. At the pre-application/application stage this information will only be disclosed to staff dealing directly with your application. Thereafter, and only with your consent, we will disclose information that may assist us in supporting you and your learning at Kingston College.

Applicants are strongly advised to disclose a disability or medical condition that may adversely affect learning. Our pre-application and pre-enrolment guidance service can include visits to the College sites, advice on suitability of programmes of study and support at interview if necessary. Applicants are invited to identify any disability, medical condition, mental illness or learning difficulty as part of this application process. Such information is used discreetly and with the sole aim of providing appropriate support.

Higher Education Students - Support for Disabled Learners

At Higher Education level the usual method of funding is the Disabled Student’s Allowance (DSA) - if you think you are eligible, you should apply for this at the same time as applying for your Student Loan.
