Accessibility

St Edmund’s College is committed to ensuring that all members of our community can participate in College life. We aim to provide an inclusive environment that supports physical, academic, and emotional wellbeing.

Physical accessibility and wayfinding

We work with AccessAble to provide detailed, independent access guides for our buildings and facilities. These guides include information on level access, door widths and other accessibility information.

Access guides are available via: AccessAble.

Parking

The College operates under a formal parking policy, which is available on the College’s Website: Policies and Procedures.

For parking-related queries, please contact the Porters’ Lodge at porters@st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk.

Assistance dogs

St Edmund’s College welcomes assistance dogs. The College has an Assistance Dogs Policy which sets out the process for bringing an assistance dog into College buildings and accommodation. The policy is available on the College’s Website: Policies and Procedures.

University-wide support

The Accessibility & Disability Resource Centre (ADRC) is the primary hub for disability support for students at the University of Cambridge.  They offer confidential advice and support for new students, current undergraduates and postgraduate students. They provide mentoring, study skills and assistance with developing Student Support Documents (which includes recommendations for different types of study support for lectures, seminars, practicals, supervisions and exams). You can find out more about their services here: University’s website.

Student-led support (CR)

The Combination Room (CR) has designated student representatives. This includes the CR Disabilities Officer (cr-disabilities@st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk) and the CR Welfare Officers (cr-welfare@st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk) who can be consulted on matters relating to accessibility, disability and wellbeing that affect the student body.
