Getting started

Not sure what to do? Here's a quick guide to get you started:

1. Contact our Disability Office as soon as you can (before you start if possible), to confirm that Birkbeck can adequately meet your needs and to ensure you have some idea of the support you can get, including:
   1. the Disabled Students' Allowance and other financial support
   2. support equipment and software
   3. exam support
   4. Library support
2. You will need to provide evidence of disability or specific learning difficulty, so that we can go ahead and arrange support.
3. Complete a Disabled Students' Allowance form and take it to the Disability Office.
4. After you have enrolled, but before you use the library, you should make an appointment with the Disability Office, who can refer you to:
   1. the Library's Access Support team, so we can arrange appropriate support while you are in the library
   2. Disability IT support, for access to relevant computing equipment and software
