Student Health and Wellbeing offer a range of services to meet diverse, individual needs and support you to manage your wellbeing and fulfil your potential whilst studying. Register now to find out how we can help you.

Student Health and Wellbeing includes four teams who provide practical, emotional and specialist disability related support to our students. You can learn more about the different teams in SH&W here: our services.

One of the teams within Student Health and Wellbeing is Disability and Neurodiversity. The Disability and Neurodiversity team provides support for autistic students, including:

• Reasonable adjustments, such as permission to take sensory breaks in classes.
• Examination arrangements, such as extra time, or a smaller room to take exams in.
• Liaison with staff at City St George’s, such as academic staff and library staff, to ensure that recommended adjustments are put in place.
• Signposting to other appropriate support such as Counselling or Academic Skills.

If you haven’t done so already we would encourage you to contact Student Health and Wellbeing in order to talk about the support available to you and ensure any adjustments are made in time for your arrival at City St George’s. Your Disability & Neurodiversity Advisor can also advise you on the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) and the application process.

You can get in touch with Student Health and Wellbeing and the Disability and Neurodiversity team by filling out an e-referral form, which you can use to tell us a bit about yourself. One of the team will then invite you to book a meeting with one of our advisors. You can find the e-referral form here: SH&W e-referral

You can also contact Student Health and Wellbeing by email via wellbeing@citystgeorges.ac.uk.

We also offer a transition event for new autistic students starting at City St George’s

The Transition Event will be a chance for new City St George’s students with Autistic Spectrum Conditions to:

• find out about student life at City St George’s
• meet Student Health and Wellbeing and members of other student support services
• have a campus tour
• socialise with other students

We usually contact new applicants over the summer with information about the event. If you have applied to City and would like to attend please contact us on wellbeing@citystgeorges.ac.uk
