<h3 class="wcmform-title">SSU Consent Form</h3> <p class="wcmform-description">In order to provide advice and to put reasonable adjustments and other support arrangements in place, students need to share personal data with the Student Support Unit. This personal data may also need to be shared with others at the University and to external parties, including medical evidence and information about support needs. In such cases, disclosure is only made with your consent. Please note that if you do not wish to consent to disclosure then, in some cases, the Student Support Unit may not be able to put support arrangements in place.<br /> <br /> • If you require information regarding medical evidence, advice can be found under Your Support Needs on our website. You can still submit the consent form by uploading a self-declaration outlining your difficulties, an Advisor will then be in touch to provide support with obtaining evidence.<br /> <br /> • If you have already supplied us with your medical evidence or Needs Assessment Report and we have requested consent, please upload a self-declaration confirming we have your evidence so the form can be submitted.<br /> <br /> • If you are seeking an assessment for a Specific Learning Difference or ADHD, please complete the screening questionnaire you will find under Useful Forms on our website and upload before submitting consent.<br /> <br /> Please only submit the form ONCE - we will contact you if we need additional information.<br /> <br /> Occasionally the form will not submit correctly if there is high traffic - if you receive an error please try again.<br /> <br /> This information is stored securely and will only be used for the purpose of supporting you or for anonymous statistical purposes.</p> <form class="style1 wcmform" action="" method="post" id="f26B4DC69-1631-D5CD-F2F1-DFADE3FBFFFA" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="MTY2NDY4MjA1OTkwMWI2ZDkzMGY5YzM3YmNmZjk1ZGM4OTc4YmQzMjFjZWQxNDIwYmEwZDNiYzkxMjQyMjJiYjFjODBlYmI4MTIzMDczZmI4ZDBmNTBiN2Fk" /> <input type="hidden" name="form" value="26B4DC69-1631-D5CD-F2F1-DFADE3FBFFFA" /> <fieldset data-id="fs-0"><legend class="legend show-for-sr">Personal Information</legend><h3 aria-hidden="true">Personal Information</h3><dl><dt><label class="required" for="ZcqnbU7UpY">Last Name</label></dt><dd><input type="text" name="ZcqnbU7UpY" id="ZcqnbU7UpY" required="required" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="Bvgl7Uxy6i">First Name</label></dt><dd><input type="text" name="Bvgl7Uxy6i" id="Bvgl7Uxy6i" required="required" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="6TILsZx4lv">Pronouns</label></dt><dd><input type="text" name="6TILsZx4lv" id="6TILsZx4lv" required="required" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="mh6xlZcwHm">Registration Number or UCAS Number</label></dt><dd><div class="description">This can be found on your student ID card or UCAS correspondence.</div><input type="number" name="mh6xlZcwHm" id="mh6xlZcwHm" required="required" min="1" value="" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="pYGV9aQnfl">Email</label></dt><dd><input type="email" name="pYGV9aQnfl" id="pYGV9aQnfl" required="required" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="p4Klmgnx6d">Date of Birth</label></dt><dd><div class="elementGroupContainer elementDate"><input type="date" name="p4Klmgnx6d" id="p4Klmgnx6d" min="" max="" data-ui="date" required="required" /></div></dd><dt><label class="required" for="YOl2160db6">Telephone Number</label></dt><dd><input type="number" name="YOl2160db6" id="YOl2160db6" required="required" value="" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="yusTLMBj1h">Course Title</label></dt><dd><input type="text" name="yusTLMBj1h" id="yusTLMBj1h" required="required" /></dd><dt><label class="required" for="LMl3wKwhka">Year of Study</label></dt><dd><select name="LMl3wKwhka" id="LMl3wKwhka" required="required"><option value="">Please select...</option><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option><option value="3">3</option><option value="4">4</option><option value="5+">5+</option></select></dd><dt><label class="required" for="IuU0qjrb34">Status</label></dt><dd><select name="IuU0qjrb34" id="IuU0qjrb34" required="required"><option value="">Please select...</option><option value="UG">UG</option><option value="PGT">PGT</option><option value="PGR">PGR</option></select></dd><dt><label class="required">Disability Type</label></dt><dd><div class="elementGroupContainer elementCheckbox"><label><input name="whZfxxvBHw[]" type="checkbox" value="Specific Learning Difference" /> Specific Learning Difference</label><br /><label><input name="whZfxxvBHw[]" type="checkbox" value="Disability or on-going physical health condition" /> Disability or on-going physical health condition</label><br /><label><input name="whZfxxvBHw[]" type="checkbox" value="Mental Health condition" /> Mental Health condition</label><br /><label><input name="whZfxxvBHw[]" type="checkbox" value="Autism Spectrum Condition" /> Autism Spectrum Condition</label><br /></div></dd><dt><label class="required" for="MTgwrwHQlL">Further Information</label></dt><dd><div class="description">Please explain the impact of your condition on your studies and what other reasonable adjustments you may require such as; physical access, library support, emergency evacuation assistance, computer in exams, etc.</div><textarea name="MTgwrwHQlL" id="MTgwrwHQlL" required="required" style="width:98%;height:10em;" class="elementTextarea"></textarea></dd><dt><label class="required" for="dbsxQFHCdI">Medical Evidence</label></dt><dd><div class="description">No support can be put in place unless acceptable evidence has been supplied to the Student Support Unit.
