Questions you may want to ask at an open day

Further queries you may want to ask university staff or research:

Questions about the student support departments:

  • What basic support is provided for neurodivergent students?
  • Do you help with Disabled Student Allowance applications?
  • Is there a “transition to University” preparation course, either residential, as an early start or online?
  • Is there a regular neurodivergent meeting, drop in session or social club organised to meet other students?
  • What mental health support facilities are there and how are they accessed?

Questions about courses: 

  • Will I be able to get lecture slides in advance to prepare?
  • Can you give me an example timetable? Are contact hours spread out during the week?

Questions about accommodation: 

  • I require quiet accommodation due to my condition. How would I go about making sure that I am allocated this?
  • Is there a “move in a little early” scheme available for neurodivergent students to help them avoid the busy moving-in day?
