Introduction
Charles Sturt University is committed to providing an inclusive educational environment. We will promote awareness and understanding of issues for students with a disability and encourage independence at all times. Students who have a physical or sensory impairment, medical condition, learning disability, or psychological condition that affects access to or participation in study or University life, are strongly advised to contact the Disability Liaison Officer at the home campus of their course prior to enrolment.
