‘My adjustments’ enable you to participate in the academic assessment process on a fair basis.

My Adjustments (MAs) are LSE’s system of recording the adjustments and support available to disabled students. It is a document tailored to your individual circumstances and needs, and outlines the reasonable adjustments which the School will put in place to support your study.

Your MAs are based on formal medical evidence and completed in collaboration with you. We will work with you to establish how best we can provide appropriate support.

MAs are comprised of Teaching and Learning Adjustments (TLAs) and Central Exam Adjustments (CEAs).

Central Exam Adjustments (CEAs)

CEAs for long term conditions exist for the duration of your programme at the LSE.

In order to apply for Long Term CEAs you will need to complete a CEA application, in person, with an advisor from the Disability and Mental Health Service. This is usually done at the same time that your Teaching and Learning Adjustments (TLAs) are put in place.

The Disability and Mental Health Service will then approve standard applications and have non-standard applications referred, along with the appropriate medical evidence, to the CEA Panel.

The recommendations on your CEA application will be considered by the CEA Panel. You will receive an outcome email from the CEA Panel once your application and evidence has been considered.

Once approved, agreed CEAs will remain in place throughout the entirety of your programme at the LSE.

If you want to view your  ‘My Adjustments’ or need to review and approve an adjustment request you can do so by logging into the My Adjustments Portal.

The Equality Challenge Unit has published guidance on reasonable adjustments to assist universities in planning and implementing them: http://www.ecu.ac.uk/publications/managing-reasonable-adjustments-in-higher-education/
