How to access University disability support
How to access disability support while at University.
Step 1: Tell us that you’re disabled
If you have an impairment or condition that impacts - or can impact - on your learning, you can let us know before you arrive or at any point during your studies:
- You can do this on your UCAS / University application form
- If you have an impairment/condition but have not indicated this on your application to University, you can tell us by emailing us directly at disability.info@sheffield.ac.uk
We can then contact you with information about setting up support.

Step 2: Send us evidence of your impairment/condition
Our Providing evidence page explains what evidence we require and how to obtain it.
Please send written evidence to: disability.info@sheffield.ac.uk,
It may take a few weeks or months to obtain diagnostic evidence. We advise that you send your evidence as early as possible before you start University to avoid delays in accessing support.
Step 3: Contact us when you arrive
If you haven't already been in touch with us when you arrive, contact us.
We can then contact you about the specific steps you need to take to access support.
