View guidance on adding, editing and maintaining disability support packages for students within the EUCLID student hub. Introduction Once a study package has been agreed between the Disability Advisor and the student via the 'Needs Assessment Report', you, as the Advisor can create the study package for approval within EUCLID. Proposed study packages can be updated, so any changes to funding that arise, or changes in Support Assistant personnel can be easily edited.
