As the semester kicks off, the Access and Disability Services team would like to share the Staff Guide to EIP Adjustments, which has been created to support staff who are responsible for implementing reasonable adjustments under a student’s Education Inclusion Plan (EIP).
This guide serves as a quick reference guide to understanding the common reasonable adjustments, and the responsibilities of the staff member and student.
At ACU, we have a dedicated Access and Disability Service for students who have temporary or ongoing health conditions, disabilities, mental health conditions, neurodivergence, or significant carer responsibilities that may affect their studies. These support services are designed to ensure that students with disabilities can participate in education on an equal basis with students without disabilities, in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) through the Disability Standards for Education (2005).
At the institutional level, this process is facilitated by reasonable adjustments being recommended and implemented through academic adjustments and listed on a student’s EIP.
The EIP maintains academic standards while implementing reasonable adjustments through several key strategies:
These principles collectively ensure that while students receive necessary support, the core academic standards and learning objectives are preserved. Please visit the Staff Access and Disability Service webpage where you can access further resources and information on the support services available to students.
