SEN Declaration
City University is committed to providing an equal educational opportunity for all students including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). You may complete the online declaration with supporting documents no later than the end of Week 2 of the first Semester/Term of your admission so that suitable arrangements can be provided to facilitate your learning at the University.
Information collected in your declaration will be used by different academic units and service units at the University for offering assistance to SEN students and for statistical purposes. The Academic Regulations and Records Office (ARRO)/Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies (SGS) will co-ordinate the collection of such information and make appropriate referrals to teaching academic units and other service units such as the Library and Student Development Services.
All information collected will be kept confidential and used on a need-to-know basis. Whilst there are limits to the level and kind of services that can be provided, individual academic units and service units may contact you further to discuss the services and assistance that can be offered.
The decisions of your home academic unit on any special assessment/examination arrangements adjusted for you will normally be available in Week 5 of your first Semester/Term. Please access your declaration to check the information via AIMS.
