Deaf students and students who are hard of hearing

If you're Deaf or hard of hearing, you’ll have access to a range of resources and support to help you succeed in your studies. AUT has NZSL interpreters who can interpret for students. When you meet with us, an advisor, with assistance from an NZSL interpreter, will assess and arrange the help you need.

We understand that you’ll have your own communication style preferences. Contact us as soon as you can so we can make sure we arrange suitable resources for you. You can email the Disability Support Services at disability.office@aut.ac.nz

Types of support for Deaf and hard of hearing students

You can access:

• NZ Sign language interpreting for students fluent in NZSL
• Help and strategies for accessing lecture content and notes, like notes online
• Support to discuss your individual needs with lecturers and academic departments
