    University of Strathclyde

    special needs - assessment and provision

Summary

Mr C complained that the university failed to take reasonable account of his disabilities in terms of the the impact his medication had had on his exam grades and study skills.

Our investigation found that there were a number of areas, including assessment and agreed support measure, where his needs were addressed and reasonable adjustments were put in place. Additionally, the university had exercised their discretion to allow Mr C to resit modules, in light of the difficulties he had experienced, which they were not obliged to do. We did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
