Disability Service

UCT Disability Service forms part of the OIC. We strive to mainstream students with disabilities and provide specialist services where needed.

The Disability Service has merged with the Office for Inclusivity and Change (OIC); and we will therefore be sharing the same social media platforms. This means we will no longer be active on this handle but will be available on @UCTOIC So go on and give us a follow!
