Academic Support

​Some students with disabilities and/or Special Educational Needs (SEN) may experience challenges in accessing standard learning materials, taking academic assessments in the typical format, participating in classroom activities and more.

​I&AE works with relevant departments to provide appropriate academic support to facilitate equitable access to achieve their academic best.

Examples of learning assistance and support are:

  • Academic assessment accommodations
  • Learning support
  • Assistive technology and/or devices

 

Academic Assessment Accommodation

Students with disabilities and/or SEN may be eligible for academic assessment accommodations. Examples of accommodations include additional time, separate rooms and access to laptops. 

 

Learning Support

A range of support services are also available, including notetaking services, sign language interpretation, video transcription and conversion of text and diagrams to Braille/tactile format. 

 

Advice on and/or Loan of Assistive Technology and/or Devices (AT)

AT is important to some students with disabilities and/or SEN as the devices and software can help students better access learning materials. I&AE has a library of common AT available for student loan.

If necessary, I&AE may refer students to external agencies for professional assessments and prescriptions/recommendations of the appropriate AT

 

SEN Funding Support is available to eligible students to support their purchase of relevant AT. For more information on SEN Funding Support, visit url: https://www.ntu.edu.sg/education/accessible-education/sen-funding-support
