Student Voice

Everyone deserves to feel like their voice is heard. If you’ve ever felt like decisions are made without you, you’ll know why it matters. 

At Highlands, we’re serious about making sure students have a say in how the College works.

ACCESSIBILITY

Highlands College has eleven main buildings, which are mostly accessible to wheelchair users. The main passenger lift in University Centre and the passenger lift in Turner Building (which runs between the basement and third floor), are reserved for visitors, staff, and students with enhanced mobility requirements.
