Student Services Support

Personal Support

We can support learners who may be at risk of withdrawing from their course through disability, or social, emotional or behavioural difficulties. Both practical and emotional support is at hand for people who have additional needs.

This support can begin before you start your course to help you settle in, and can continue if you require it on a one-to-one basis or within class throughout the year. It is recognised that some learners may experience personal difficulties during their time at college such as homelessness, bereavement, changes to your mental or physical health, and issues with confidence and self-esteem.

A confidential service is available where trained and experienced staff can offer you advice and support. Where appropriate and with your consent, you could be referred to an external agency for specialist support.

We are also happy to work alongside any other professional you are involved with to ensure the best support possible for you.

If you are a carer please get in touch so we can discuss the support you may need while studying at College. Please email us on support@dundeeandangus.ac.uk and an online or face-to-face appointment can be made with a support worker to discuss how we can help you.

Academic Support

Our Student Services Team is available to help you with any additional support you may need for your studies whilst at college.

We can help you develop your skills and confidence with reading, writing, spelling, numeracy, IT, study skills, exam revision, memory strategies, etc.

Support workers can work with you on a one-to-one basis, in small groups or in-class according to your needs. Equipment and assistive materials can be provided for students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD), e.g. dyslexia.

If you think you may have dyslexia, a diagnostic screening can be arranged for you. If you have a support need, you may be entitled to additional assessment arrangements such as extra time, the provision of a reader/scribe or the use of a computer.

If you want to discuss your study needs, then please contact us on support@dundeeandangus.ac.uk and an online or face-to-face appointment can be made with a support worker to discuss how we can help you.
