Need support with your studies?📚

Disability and Accessibility Services can help eligible students access reasonable adjustments through an Access Plan.♿

Our new Access Plan Portal makes it easier to securely manage Access Plans online, with simpler access for students and teaching staff.

Students with a current Access Plan can now log in and view their migrated plan in the new portal.

If your previous plan has expired – or you think you may benefit from one for the first time – you can register for a new Access Plan through the new Access Plan Portal.🤝

Support remains the same, and the new system was developed with input from current VU students.
