Resources for deaf and hearing impaired students
Some of our Disability Student Support staff have varying levels of proficiency in New Zealand Sign Language, but the University also employs New Zealand Sign Language interpreters who are available to interpret for students. Kyle Macfadyen is the Disability Student Advisor who supports Deaf and hearing impaired students. At your individual needs assessment interview, he will assess and organise the necessary help that you require.

We understand that every student is an individual and will have their own communication style preferences. It is advisable that you contact Kyle as soon as you are considering enrolling to ensure that we have the appropriate resources available to you.

If you identify on your enrolment that you are Deaf or hearing impaired, we will be notified and will write to advise you what you need to do next.
