From: Mary Norowzian <[log in to unmask]> Organization: Kingston University To: [log in to unmask] Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 11:14:20 +0100 Subject: exams Priority: normal I was interested to read a copy of a DSA assessment of need report for an LEA re one of our students at Kingston.. It recommended " reasonable additional costs incurred for special examination arrangements m ay be funded through the DSA" The student concerned requires an accessible venue, extra time to allow for a need to move about etc As the numbers of students requiring special examination arrangements increases, so does the pressure on our Examinations Service to provide appropriate facilities etc. This includes separate rooming, extra invigilation costs, amanuesis, setting up word processors etc etc. I would be very interested to hear what costs other Universities pass on to students to claim from the LEA and whether LEA's are willing to fund what they may see as a University responsibility to provide.
