Dear colleagues
Thank you to all those institutions who are helping to distribute copies of the former Skill publication 'Into Higher Education' through their widening participation and outreach work.
Individual disabled students (or prospective students) and their parents, carers etc. can get a free copy by contacting the Disability Alliance student helpline. Telephone 0800 328 5050, Tues 11.30-1.30 and Thurs 1.30-3.30. Email [log in to unmask]
It can also be downloaded as a PDF from the Disability Alliance website at www.disabilityalliance.org/skillintohe.htm.
As a reminder, Into Higher Education is a guide specifically for disabled students thinking about studying in higher education. It deals with common questions such as whether the college or university will be accessible, how to choose a course and what support will be available. This edition also covers funding and tuition fees for 2012 entry as well as a substantial amount of new material and case studies.
