Accommodation on medical grounds

There is a range of accommodation available. The Accommodation Office have further details on the rooms including costs.

If you have specific needs, please disclose this on your accommodation application form or contact the disability team to discuss the options. There are single rooms in halls at Colchester and Southend suitable for wheelchair users and those with hearing impairments. Further adaptations can be made to suit your individual requirements (although major structural adaptations are not usually possible). 
 
As a new student, please ensure you apply by the deadline.
 
In subsequent years you can apply for accommodation on medical grounds (single rooms only). You will need to demonstrate that you have a physical or sensory impairment or medical condition which severely restricts your mobility. The form includes permission for us to send a questionnaire to your doctor to find out how your mobility is impaired. 


Application forms are available from Student Support, where the Disability Team will assess your application
