Student Disability Services

Due to the fire at the Epsom campus on Monday 13 May, Student Disability Services will operate out of the Student Disability Room at the Sylvia Ashton-Warner Library (L125 Epsom campus ) until further notice.

SDS Outreach Coordinator Rebekah Williams can be contacted by email (r.williams@auckland.ac.nz) or on mobile: 021 538 772/DD 60100.

Updates will be posted on the Faculty of Education Facebook page: www.facebook.com/AklUniEducation

Our role is to support students with a range of impairments to succeed and excel within the University.

Please see below for a list of our Frequently Asked Questions.

We have organised the Scholarships and Awards booklet into disability specific order. We also have included scholarships and awards for school leavers. In addition to disability specific scholarships we have added some general scholarships and awards and hope these may encourage you to find out more about any that may apply to you.

Good luck with your future applications!
