At Royal Holloway, we strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students. Over 13% of Royal Holloway students have a disability, meaning there is a big community here on campus. We are committed to providing the necessary support for students who are disabled or have a long-term health condition. Our community is a safe and non-judgmental space where you can be confident that your needs will be met with understanding and respect.
We work closely with students to ensure accessibility, find effective solutions, and implement reasonable adjustments. Our goal is to provide equitable access to all aspects of university life by removing barriers and promoting inclusivity. Whether you need specific accommodations for your studies or support in navigating university life, we are here to help..
