Disability Services – Dart

University life is full of new experiences, and you cannot always predict what they are going to be. If you have a disability, specific learning difference, a medical or mental health condition, some of these new experiences could have additional challenges and it may be helpful to know that the university has a dedicated team. The Disability Service - Dart, are here to offer you information, advice and guidance on any disability related issue you may have.

Security

All university-owned accommodation is fitted with secure locking systems designed to provide as much security as possible. However, such system can only be maintained with the assistance of those persons resident within the building. Therefore:

• ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BUILDING ACCESS DOOR IS CLOSED AFTER ENTERING OR LEAVING THE  BUILDING.
   
• ALWAYS LOCK THE APARTMENT DOOR WHEN LEAVING (IT CAN BE HELPFUL TO KEEP APARTMENTS LOCKED AT ALL TIMES)
   
• KEEP YOUR ROOM DOOR LOCKED. (LOST KEYS MUST BE REPORTED TO THE ACCOMMODATION SERVICE) REPLACEMENT KEYS WILL BE CHARGED FOR!
   
• KEEP WINDOWS LOCKED WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FROM THE ROOM.

Should any resident student have any queries over the security of themselves or their possessions then they should contact the Accommodation Service as soon as possible.

Safety equipment and alarms

The University is expected by law to maintain fire fighting equipment and alarms in all residences. Malicious misuse of such will incur financial penalties and disciplinary action where appropriate.

In circumstances where no person or persons accept responsibility for such dangerous acts then the costs and charges will be recovered from all residents in the building where the action took place.

Catered Halls - Riseholme Park Campus Only

Catered Halls provide a half board package (breakfast and evening meal) . Meals are taken in the Restaurant on campus by use of a meals pass which is issued to each student with their keys.

Counselling

Whilst many of the problems first year students encounter are accommodation related and therefore may be resolved in conjunction with Residence staff, some problems may require more professional help. Please do not hesitate to contact the University's Counselling Service if you require their help. The counselling service is located with the Student Services Department of the University.
