I am just starting a PhD at a University. I am a partially disabled student. I need a crutch to walk and my distance for walking is restricted. I get tired walking and have to stop 2-3 times as well. I have MS.

I wanted to buy a seated electrical e-scooter to enable my movement on campus. However, I was informed by the University that they prohibit all electrical scooters and e-bikes on University grounds.

I wanted to ask what my rights are to get the University to accommodate for my disability and situation? Any help appreciated. Please and thank you.

    Hello @chiggs

    Welcome to the community! :) How are you today?

    Just to let you know, I have popped your post into our Education section of the forum. Hopefully more members can help advise. You may find UCAS are able to help advise or the council of where your University is based :)
