???ACADEMIC SUPPORT
At the Disability Unit, we provide students with academic support to assist them where and when needed. We offer support in the following ways:
Special tests and exams
Special arrangements can be made for students who
need additional time or other support to complete tests and exams. The Unit
works closely with the Exams Office to facilitate special arrangements for
students with disabilities. Click here to find out more about application deadlines or to download and print the application form. Once you have downloaded, filled-in and printed your form, e-mail it to skry?ftyd@sun.ac.za.
