Student Equity, Diversity and Disability Service

The Student Equity, Diversity and Disability Service provides a free, confidential service for students with a disability and/or medical condition, either permanent or temporary, which may affect various aspects of life at ECU.

In order to access the support that this Service can provide, it is extremely important that you contact the Student Equity, Diversity and Disability Officer - as soon as practicable on or before your enrolment, to ensure a smooth transition into your studies.

To register with the service you will need to make an appointment with a Student Equity, Diversity and Disability Officer for an assessment of your needs. You will then be provided with a Learning and Assessment Plan, which will document the assistance you require and the responsibilities of all parties in implementing any necessary adjustments. Appropriate assistance may include:

  • alternative examination conditions
  • resource information and advice
  • liaising with academic staff
  • library services
  • access to some aids, software and equipment
  • interpreting services
  • note-taking and transcription services
  • guidance for students with regards to note-takers' roles and responsibilities

Equity Advice

You can also contact the Equity, Diversity and Disability Service for assistance with an explanation of your rights and responsibilities under the Equal Opportunity Act and Disability Discrimination Act.
