Disability Registration

All students who wish to register as students with disabilities must consult the University Medical Officer (UMO) to obtain a certificate of disability within the first week of enrolment. The UMO may refer the student to a specialist for further verification if required.

Extra Time

An extra time allowance of 20 minutes per hour of examination is available to students whose writing speed is compromised due to disability or injury. This could apply to a range of disabilities as determined by the UMO.
Students must obtain a medical certificate from the UMO with a recommendation for extra time.

Students with the recommendation for extra time obtained by the UMO must make a request for extra time in writing to the Dean of the Faculty through the Information and Documentation Centre (IDC) within the first two weeks of registration. Applications for extra time are assessed and approved by the Faculty Board.
