Do I qualify for a refund?
Yes, if you meet the following conditions:
- You are enrolled on an undergraduate course at Falmouth University based at the Falmouth or Penryn campuses.
- The assessment was carried out by a qualified assessor and confirms that you have specific learning differences (dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD).
- You have not previously received a refund for a diagnostic assessment from Falmouth University.
- You have received a letter from Student Finance with details of the support and equipment they have agreed to fund. This is known as a 'DSA2 Notification of Entitlement' letter.
How do I get my refund?
When you get your DSA2 Notification of Entitlement letter, please email a copy of your diagnostic report and invoice to accessibility@fxplus.ac.uk so that they can process your refund. The money will be paid into your account within 4 - 6 weeks.
(If you are in financial hardship and cannot afford to pay for a diagnostic assessment up front, please email inclusive@fxplus.ac.uk to arrange a screening appointment and chat.)
