Disability support services
AUT is committed to providing a supportive, equitable, safe and inclusive environment for disabled students. If you're Deaf, neurodiverse, or if you have a disability or medical condition, we'll support you so you can participate as fully as possible in your learning.
Our support will be individually catered to your needs. We offer adaptive technology, New Zealand sign language interpreters, advice on accessibility around campus, assistance with managing your studies, and access to a diagnostic assessment conducted by a registered professional.
