Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability?

The data attested here will be processed and treated in accordance with the Belgian and European privacy legislation and in accordance with the provisions in the education and examination regulations of the institution.
- The institutional policy advisor functional limitations will process this information internally in order to determine the appropriate facilities for the student.
- After your application has been processed, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and a certificate stating the facilities granted. You can always contact Student Services if your situation changes or if there are any questions or uncertainties about the facilities granted.
Necessary documents to provide
The institutional policy advisor functional limitations will provide you with the appropriate forms.
These forms are similar for all higher education institutes in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium (Flanders) who follow the Flemish Education Board (VLOR) policies on this subject. Attestation forms can be previewed here (unfortunately document titles only in Dutch)
What can students expect?
Studying with a disability need not be an obstacle in UCLL. We stand for an inclusive policy wherever possible. Based on the status of a student with a functional limitation, you may be eligible for educational or examination facilities.
UCLL has its own support team. Student counsellors offer customised coaching when the offer of the study or language coach, the guidance of the student services or the granted education and examination facilities do not suffice for you.
