Students whose diagnostic reports have been accepted by the Inclusive Support Service will have an ISP. The ISP will set out reasonable adjustments in exams, one-week coursework extensions and where to check when they can apply or not, and access to the blue card system. Relevant academic staff can access a specific student's ISP.
