Can the student wellness specialist write an exemption letter for concessions?
The Student Wellness Specialist is a registered professional, registered with either the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as a registered counsellor or with the South African Council for Social Service Professionals (SACSSP) as a registered social worker. Therefore, the Student Wellness Specialist is not able to write an exemption letter for a concession. Students are required to apply for an accommodation / assessment concession via the IIE Assist platform, where the student will be required to submit the necessary supporting documentation.
For an assessment accommodation where a student experiences barriers to learning, students are expected to submit a full Psycho-Educational Assessment conducted by an external Educational Psychologist / Psychometrist.
The Student Wellness Specialist can provide referral options to students of external Educational Psychologists / Psychometrists who will be able to assess the student.
Should you require additional information regarding the wellness services, booking a counselling consultation or applying for an accommodation, please reach out to your Student Wellness Specialist.
