September 2021 update: During the 2021 autumn term, we will be offering students the choice of in-person, telephone or online appointments.
In-person appointments:
- In-person appointments will be Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoons.
- Disability Advisors will meet students in the Disability Office (Room G12), located on the ground floor of the Malet Street building close to the main entrance. There is a vestibule waiting area outside.
- Both staff and students are required to wear a mask. If you cannot for health reasons, we recommend you obtain a Sunflower Lanyard from the Hidden Disabilities website.
- Email your specialist adviser for telephone, MS Teams and email support. Their address can be found in your Study Support Plan in My Birkbeck.
- If you are not well, you should not attend an in-person appointment.
Remote appointments:
- Telephone and MS Teams appointments will be available from Monday to Friday afternoons.
- For general queries and to arrange an appointment, please email the Disability and Dyslexia Service team or call +44 (0) 20 3907 0700.
