Study Inclusion Plans
The Study Inclusion Plan (SIP) is a confidential plan for students with disabilities or SpLDs.
The learning and disability advisers will discuss and agree with you reasonable adjustments required for study, including exams and library arrangements.
Once your SIP has been published, the SIP will be sent to the areas of the university responsible, such as your module convenors, Assessments, Health and Safety and the Library.
You can view and reconfirm your Study Inclusion Plan (SIP) at any time throughout the academic year on SOAS Online Student Services. Your SIP will need to be republished each academic year.
Should you move onto a new course at SOAS (e.g., moving from undergraduate to postgraduate studies) your SIP will not automatically carry across and will therefore need to be re-issued. If you wish to amend or update your SIP with a new disability, please contact the disabilities department as soon as possible.

Special Exam Arrangements
SIP applications for Special Exam Arrangements (SEA) must be received by the Disability and Neurodiversity Team by certain deadlines each year:
- Deadline for Main Summer Assessment period: Monday 16 February 2026, 5:00pm UK time
- Deadline for Late Summer Assessment period: TBC
If for whatever reason you do not make the deadline for the forthcoming exams you should still go to DNT to be assessed as your adjustments will then be in place for your future exams.
