​​The Disability Unit provides academic support to students with disabilities and also supports academic departments. Support to academic departments include information regarding reasonable accommodation to student applications, registration, classroom activities and examinations.

The Unit has three main focus areas

• Facilitation: Prospective student needs and specific requirements will be facilitated with all relevant stakeholders. This may include discussions with students, parents, academics, residence and other stakeholders.
  
• Advocacy: Continuous liaison with all stakeholders to ensure improvement in accessibility.
  
• Support: The Unit provides continuous support to all registered students with disabilities. This includes services and monitoring of academic progress. The Unit provides a computer lab specifically aimed at visually impaired and blind students but is also used by other registered students with disabilities. The disability lab comprises braille facilities, screen reading software, screen enlargement software and PCs for Internet access, research and special assessment procedures, among others.
