University policies

Rhodes University is in the process of approving new policies to guide the ways in which we recruit and accommodate students and staff with disabilities. In the meantime, our existing policies offer useful information showing the university's commitment to advance the rights of people with disabilities:

• Student Disability Policy
• Staff Disability Policy

National policies

• Strategic Policy Framework on Disability for the Post-School Education and Training System

Financial aid policies (NSFAS)

• NSFAS Disability Policy 2019
• NSFAS Disability Policy Guide (one-pager)
• NSFAS Disability Assessment Questionnaire

Some useful resources

• Vlog 155 - Dis/ability: This video discusses the supervision of postgraduate students with disabilities.
