UQ1387

Should I contact a university about accommodations before applying?

Yes. If you may need accommodations, it is generally advisable to contact the admissions office or disability support office before applying. This can help you confirm available accommodations, the application process, required documentation, and relevant timing, and plan for support during the entrance examination and after enrollment. However, procedures and available support vary by university, faculty, admission category, and academic year, and a requested accommodation is not necessarily guaranteed, so check the university’s official information.

Key points

  • Contact the admissions or disability support office as early as possible.
  • Ask about available accommodations, the application process, required documents, and timing.
  • Ask about support both during the entrance examination and after enrollment.

Things to check

  • Specific procedures and support vary by university, faculty, admission category, and academic year.
  • Contacting the university does not guarantee that every requested accommodation will be approved.
