Commitment Sheffield Hallam University is committed to the principle of inclusion and to equal opportunities and this is reflected in the support it offers to disabled students. The University Definition of Disability 'Disability' in this context may be taken to include any impairment or medical condition, which could make it difficult for an otherwise suitable student to complete a programme of study successfully. Some, such as physical or sensory disabilities, may be obvious, whilst others may not be apparent unless disclosed by the student, for example, diabetes, epilepsy, dyslexia or mental health problems. The University is located on three campuses. The larger City Campus has level or ramped access available and lifts to all floors.
Disabled toilets are easily accessible.
There are Braille lift controls, induction loops in major new and refurbished lecture theatres and minicom facilities at key locations across the campus. Both Psalter Lane and Collegiate Campuses are a mixture of old and new buildings. Most buildings at these campuses have disabled access, and disabled toilets available or in an adjoining building. Disabled applicants should assess the practicalities of access at their initial visit. Wherever reasonable, adjustments are made to meet particular requirements.
