Alice, To quote from Chapter 7 of Guidance for LEAs on the Administration of Student Support for 2002/3 "The cost of any special arrangements that institutions need to make to enable a disabled student to take examinations (e.g. providing physical access to the examination hall or allowing the examinations to be taken and invigilated somewhere else) should not be set against DSAs. Additional costs which the disabled student himself needs to incur in taking his examinations (e.g. some sort of helper or item of specialised equipment) would however fall within the scope of DSAs;" However, if a student had already used up their DSA, the institution be responsible for the payment of the interpreter.
