If the student wants to have the report before enrolment, they would need to pay for it themselves.
As far as I am aware, there is no legal obligation for the institution to pay for the assessment in any case. Paying for assessments has been a sensible voluntary solution on the part of institutions.

Subject: Responsibility for educational psychologist report - prospective student
Dear colleagues
If a student needs an educational psychologist (EP) report, is it that student's responsibility to pay for it? Or should an institution pay for it? At the moment, we have the budget to meet the cost. Disability declarations are rising, though.
A student, with an 09/10 offer, would like the EP report done a.s.a.p. and I committed to meet this cost (which I will). In a later conversation with a colleague at another institution, however, the suggestion was that the student meet the cost of the report.
Any clarity greatly appreciated.
Is there a list of approved educational psychologist that one can refer students to?
Kind regards
Michelle
