Disclosure of mental health difficulties
Why tell the University about mental health difficulties?
You may be eligible for additional support or reasonable adjustments which the University can help you to access. This is optional support and you can decide if you would like to engage with it or not.
It may be appropriate for you have reasonable adjustments within your course. These are typically minor changes that help reduce the impact that your mental health difficulties may produce.
