The University of Northampton’s Needs Assessment Centre (NAC) closed on 26 February 2024 as part of national DSA reforms.
If you’re applying for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), your funding body will arrange your Needs Assessment with an external provider:
- England – Student Finance England (SFE)
- Scotland – Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS)
- Wales – Student Finance Wales (SFW)
- Northern Ireland – Student Finance Northern Ireland (SFNI).
Once your DSA application is approved, you’ll receive details on how to book your assessment from your funding provider.
