Common use of Student Support Clause in Contracts

Student Support. The University will continue our current Access Agreement commitment to fund a wide range of central Student Support services which are designed to help students to succeed in their studies, to overcome any difficulties they may face and to make the most of their time at the University. We will fund support to the University Disability Team to ensure student support needs are identified and managed as early as possible in the application cycle. We will also provide on-going support for students with disabilities to help their progression and retention. This will supplement other University support for students who are not eligible for, or who have not yet claimed, Disabled Students’ Allowance. There will be a significant investment by the University in Residents’ Support Network provision from 2011 onwards to support the transition of students into higher education, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an inclusive community within residences and to assist in skills development essential for independent living. This initiative will engage students from a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds with a proportion of the expansion supported through the Access Agreement. Enhanced training for volunteer members of the network is expected to contribute to the employability of these students.
