According to the Law 113 (I)/99 of the Republic of Cyprus, “a student with disabilities" means a student with a severe learning disability or special learning needs, functional or adaptive difficulty, due to physical (including sensory), mental or other cognitive or mental disabilities. A student has learning difficulties, functional or adaptive difficulties, if: (i) has significantly greater learning or adaptation difficulties in comparison with the majority of students of his/her age; or (ii) has a disability that prevents or impedes him/her from using the standard educational facilities and resources available for students of his/her age.

Strategies and policy measures related to Mobility in Higher Education
The Foundation for the Management of European Lifelong Learning Programmes, in addition to the financial support that provides to every student that wants to participate in a mobility initiative abroad (for purposes of transportation, accommodation, food and language preparation), subsidizes students with disabilities with extra financial support in the context of these programmes such as: accompaniment during the trip, transfer using a special vehicle, assistant / caregiver during the day or overnight, medical supplies or medical follow-up and special teaching material.
The process of approving the additional funding is simple and the student with disability has to visit the Erasmus Office at his/her Higher Education Institution to complete the forms required.
