Student support
Do you need support
for a disability?
The UCT Disability Service works
towards removing all physical, policy,
information and attitudinal barriers
that might prevent disabled students
and staff from fulfilling their potential.
Whether this means improving building
access, arranging for extra time during
exams or employing sign-language
interpreters, the Disability Service
is there to help.

Do you need academic support?
I feel like I am falling behind
in my coursework!
Help, I don’t know how
to write an essay.
The Extended Degree Programme
(EDP), which is offered in all faculties,
allows students to overcome the
difficult transition from school
to university by taking a lighter
academic load in their first year and
planning the curriculum over a fouryear period. The additional academic
and general support that is offered
means that students who enter the
programme are often more successful
in the long run.
Enquire at your faculty office for
details about their EDP.
Visit the UCT Writing Centre where
they will help you to improve the
quality of your academic writing.
Consultants are on hand to guide
your thinking and to assist with the
tricky business of referencing your
academic work.
