Getting support from the Disability and Learning Support Service

If you have a disability, learning difference, health or neurodiverse condition that impacts your studies please get in touch with the Disability and Learning Support Service (DLSS) as soon as possible before your studies start.

The information submitted in your university application, as well as any support you received at school or from your home university, are not automatically shared with the University of Edinburgh. You MUST register with our Service to receive support.

What you should do

• Register with DLSS as early as you can. The earlier we know your requirements, the better we will be able to ensure that they are met.

• The quickest way to do this is through our online registration form, see link below. 

• You will be asked to upload supporting documentation regarding your disability, learning difference, health or neurodiverse condition.
