A learning contract recommends reasonable adjustments so that you are not disadvantaged by your condition or disability. It also gives relevant staff the information they need to support you.
We will recommend reasonable adjustments based on your needs and the course you are studying. They may include, but are not limited to:
  • Extended deadlines for coursework and assignments
  • Adjustments to presentations or group work
  • Coursework not marked down for spelling and grammar errors
  • Adjustments to exams and timed assessments, for instance rest breaks for students with fatigue or anxiety.
Your learning contract will only be read by staff who need to put support in place for you. This will always include your course tutor.

Your support needs may change during your time at Sheffield Hallam. This may be due to a change in your studies or a change in your disability. To review your learning contract at any time, please contact Hallam Help to book a telephone Quick Query Appointment with Disabled Student Support.
