Each academic department at Glasgow Caledonian has a lecturer who has additional responsibilities as the nominated Academic Disability Coordinator (ADC). The ADCs work in partnership with the Disability Service to enhance and champion disability-inclusive practice. They also provide guidance and oversight within their academic department in relation to the implementation of arrangements for disabled students, and contribute to improved visibility of support for disabled students.

For students, an ADC might help your Disability Adviser to identify the most appropriate reasonable adjustments to teaching and assessment methods, where your needs – or the course delivery methods – are more complex.

Your ADC may also be a useful contact if, for instance, you are concerned that the recommended adjustments in your RAP are not being fully implemented.
