Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability?
If you have a disability, it is best to arrange a meeting with the Advisory Service.
In order to access the services it is necessary to be in possession of valid medical and clinical documentation attesting the disability type and to have presented it to the Advisory Service.
Depending on the certification submitted, we may discuss your situation together to assess which equipment or intervention may be best suited to your needs and provide you with useful information to tackle the study in unibz.
We remind you that at the university, in order to activate the compensatory and/or exemptive measures that you need and can take, you must send us the notification each time and make an explicit request ([email protected]).
When dealing with professors, it is important to point out your situation and needs. Professors are not automatically informed about your disability.
You can first refer to the Faculty Disability Representative: together you can decide whether to draw up a personalized study programme, and then ask to inform the lecturers in charge of the courses you attend about the situation.
In any case, you can also directly arrange a conversation with the single professors, in order to evaluate together the best way to approach the study.
