If you have a diagnosis, disability, impairment or medical condition, AUT can support you to ensure that you're able to participate as fully as you can in learning.
Our friendly staff proactively case manage and offer support to every Deaf or disabled student at AUT – from assistive technology and sign language interpreters to advice on accessible routes around campus and assistance with managing the study load.
If you let us know that you have a disability when you applied to AUT, someone from our Disability Student Support team will reach out to you to talk through your needs.
Students who have a diagnosis, disability, impairment or medical condition, and access our support at AUT have achieved higher rates of success in their studies than students with no disability.
You'll not be penalised or judged by letting us know - we want all students to reach their academic goals and life potential.

We're committed to equity of access and opportunity for students, staff and visitors. AUT supports the principles of the Kia Ōrite Code of Practice for an inclusive tertiary environment, which enables students with impairments to achieve fully.
