Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability?
Students applying for exchange studies at Malmö University indicate in their application if they are in need of learning support. The student will then be contacted by the Disability Coordinator. When you have been admitted to a course or programme, you will receive help to apply for learning support using the Nais database. The application will ask you to describe your disability and how it affects your studies.
