Exam Accommodations

Who Can Apply?

You can apply for exam accommodations if you have a disability or special needs that cause significant challenges during exams.

A disability may involve the loss of or damage to a body part or a bodily function.

Special needs may include physical, psychosocial, and/or learning-related challenges. These difficulties may be temporary or permanent but must be of a significant nature.

The purpose of accommodations is to compensate for the disadvantages caused by your situation, enabling you to demonstrate your academic competence on equal terms with other students. Accommodations should not provide any additional advantage.

Examples of accommodations include physical adjustments and/or extended time during exams.

Documentation Requirements

The need for accommodations must be documented by a physician or other qualified professional. The certificate must include a justification for why special arrangements are necessary during the exam.

Application Deadline

Exceptions to the deadline may be made if the need for accommodations arises suddenly and unexpectedly.

In case of acute illness or injury after the deadline, contact the student administration at your department as soon as possible.
