We are committed to supporting our staff to develop their careers and if you work at the University, you will have access to a range of development opportunities, including:<\/p>\n

\n\t\tTell Us About Your Needs\n\t<\/h2>\n

It is important that we know about your condition as early as possible in your application so that we can arrange suitable support.<\/p>\n

If you are applying through UCAS there is a section which asks if you have any conditions. If you have an Autistic Spectrum condition it is helpful if you can tick the box B disclosing this. After we receive your application we will write to you to find out about your condition and your needs using a Disclosure Form SN1 form.<\/p>\n

If you have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder or Aspergers and have not told us yet, please email us to request the form and send your completed form with your reports or medical evidence by email to disabilitydyslexia@chi.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0or by post to:<\/p>\nDisability and Dyslexia Service

\n\t\tInterviews and Auditions\n\t<\/h2>\n

If you are invited for an interview or audition we will write to you to ask if you have any particular needs on the day. Please tell us if you have any particular concerns because of your condition so we can do our best to support you.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAccomodation\n\t<\/h2>\n

Moving away from home can be daunting, especially if you find it difficult to talk to people.<\/p>\n

If you are offered a place to study at the University and want to live on campus then we can prioritise you for the most suitable accommodation and make sure that you are placed on campus rather than in our satellite accommodation. We can also prioritise you for en suite accommodation if you are worried about sharing bathrooms, and prioritise you for catered accommodation if you are not confident cooking for yourself.<\/p>\n

To make sure we can prioritise you for the more suitable accommodation you need to tell us about your needs as early as possible by emailing disabilitydyslexia@chi.ac.uk<\/a>. If you can please let us know your needs before you have to apply for accommodation online.<\/p>\n

Find out more on our Adapted and Priority Accommodation page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tGetting to Know the University\n\t<\/h2>\n

We know that going to University is daunting and are happy to arrange orientation around the campus to help you become familiar where things are.<\/p>\n

We will also invite you to a Pre Induction Day, a few weeks before you start. This gives you the chance to meet other new students with autism who may be worried about University. Second and third year students with autism will tell you about their experiences at Chichester. You will be able to meet the Student Support and Wellbeing Services at the University, so you know who to go to if you do have problems.<\/p>\n
