Different examination procedures
Examples of different examination procedures are
- Extension of time
- Change from oral to written examination mode and vice versa.
Students with a disability that lasts longer than six months have the right to a different examination method if they are unable to take the examination in the intended form due to their disability and the requirements are not changed by the different examination method (UG § 59 (1) 11):
How the examination must be taken has to be agreed with the lecturer in advance (!), as organisational arrangements often have to be made.
Financial support for students with disabilities
Financial support for students with disabilities can be found on our Financial Support page.
