Disclosing disability, challenges and extenuating circumstances: University and Career Counsellor insights

Wednesday 17 June 2026 14:00 - 14:40

Summary

Disclosing a disability, specific challenge, or extenuating circumstance within a university application can feel complex for students and advisers alike. This session takes a balanced, in-depth look at how disclosure is understood and considered — from both university and career counselling perspectives.

Bringing together admissions professionals and experienced career counsellors, we’ll explore the nuanced implications of disclosure: how it may be reviewed within admissions decisions, how it connects to support and accommodations, and what it can mean for students’ academic pathways.

Designed to provide clarity rather than assumptions, this session will equip you with the understanding and practical guidance needed to support students in making well-informed choices.
