Accessibility and inclusion
Accessibility & Inclusion provides students with support to ensure an accessible and inclusive campus for all. Students who require additional support due to a medical condition or disability may be eligible for support.
Through the BondAbility platform, the Accessibility & Inclusion Advisor will ensure that Bond University students who require and qualify for reasonable adjustments are afforded the same opportunities as their peers in all areas of campus life.
Applications
Applications for Learning Access Plans (LAP) should be submitted before the semester commences and no later than Friday of week 4. The University may consider requests for reasonable adjustments which are received after the cut-off date for finalisation of a LAP relating to the semester in question. Adjustments will be implemented if possible, but cannot be guaranteed if sufficient notice is not provided to make arrangements for the adjustment(s).
