AT UTS College, we believe all students should have access to equitable and inclusive education. That’s why we have several policies and processes in place to ensure that UTS College students with a disability, learning need or health issue can access and participate in their education on the same basis as other students.
Education Access and Inclusion Guide
Access and Inclusion Policy
The UTS College Education Access and Inclusion Policy both outlines the principles for providing inclusive and equitable education for all students – and ensures that students with a disability, learning need or health issue can access and participate in their education on the same basis as other students.
Access and Inclusion Procedures and Special Arrangements
Some UTS College Students with a disablity, health issue or learning need may require special arrangements, e.g. provisions for exams and make reasonable adjustments for assessments following consultation with the student about their needs.

Your rights
All UTS College Students have a right to an inclusive learning experience.
UTS College is committed to maintaining your right to privacy, in accordance with the College Privacy Policy. Confidentiality of information relating to students with specific needs will be protected, and access to information will be restricted to staff with a legitimate need to know basis.
Disclosing your needs
If you have a disability, learning need or health issue, you should advise UTS College of this when completing the Domestic Application Form or International Application Form. Relevant supporting documentation (e.g. medical certificate or counsellor’s letter) should also be provided.
Contacts and Support or Advice
For comprehensive advice on your progress at UTS College see one of our Student Success Advisers for ongoing, highly personalised support. Speak to them about any problems affecting your studies, such as stress, an illness, disability challenges or personal issues.
You can see a Student Success Adviser during drop-in times from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday at the Student Centre, UTS Building 5, Block C, Level 1 (Ground Floor) (CB05C01), 1-59 Quay St. Haymarket. You can also contact your advisers by email:
