What can students expect?
We strive for equal opportunities and diversity among our students, therefore we offer students with special needs the option to request a ReFlex statute.
ReFlex stands for reasonable flexibility. It involves making necessary adjustments to the teaching and examination regulations, to give you an equal chance during evaluations. For example: more time to complete an exam, tolerance for spelling errors, etc.
These flexibility measures will be considered reasonable when they meet the following three criteria: feasible for the student in question, justifiable for the other students and acceptable for the professor.
