    Currently, students who have support plan /disability who are eligible for extra time during exams are not able to get extra time due to the uni not doing it anymore. Students are struggling especially if in sixth form/collage they had extra time it will make the transition impossible and makes students with disabilities disadvantaged during exams

6:21pm on 17 Feb 25 Hi, I'm the union's Disability Officer for 2024-25 - if anyone has been affected by the changes to support plans, please let me know by emailing officer.disabilities@derbyunion.co.uk (even if it's just "hi, I have a disability / support plan and can't get the support I need"), and if you need help with trying to set up or update a support plan, or to make a complaint, you can make an appointment with someone from the Advice team here: https://www.derbyunion.co.uk/advice/onlinebooking/
