Overview of support
Overview of support
Open Door and Disability Services can provide support, advice and guidance for those with a diagnosed disability, including: dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties; Asperger’s syndrome; visual and hearing impairments and physical/medical impairments, amongst others. All students, including postgraduate researchers with disabilities are encouraged to contact Open Door and Disability to discuss meeting your individual needs.
Please let the department know as soon as possible if you have a disability and may require any support. You can discuss this with your supervisor.
Please note that even if you studied a previous degree at York you will need to notify the department’s disabilities representative again of any disability when you enrol for a research programme, as your support needs for the research degree are likely to be different than those for your taught degree.
DISC: Digital Inclusion, Skills, and Creativity
DISC (Digital Inclusion, Skills, & Creativity) are responsible for user education in the application of digital technologies for learning, teaching, and research. We provide digital skills support to all University members, including staff, students, and researchers. We have knowledge and expertise on effective learning and teaching design, digital literacy development, Google Workspace and Apps Script solutions, digital creativity, and data literacy.
You can get in touch with DISC at itsupport@york.ac.uk. That's a generic email address for all of IT Support, but if you mark your email for our attention, or if you're just emailing about something that's in our area of expertise, then your message will come through to us.
