Procedures for students
Procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities?
The scholarship is intended for students entitled to family allowance under Section 17 of Act No. 117/1995 Coll., on state social assistance, provided that the decisive family income (as determined for the purposes of the allowance) does not exceed 1.5 times the minimum subsistence level. The scholarship is granted for the standard period of study, covering ten months of the academic year, with a monthly amount equal to one quarter of the basic minimum monthly salary, rounded up to the nearest ten CZK.
The process must be handled separately at the study office of each faculty, so students should contact their respective faculty for guidance and submission.
Necessary documents to provide
Students must prove their eligibility with a written certificate issued by the relevant income support authority confirming that they meet the conditions specified in Section 91 (3) of the Act. Each student may apply for the scholarship once per study period.
Applications for the scholarship must be submitted according to the internal regulations of BUT, which define detailed requirements and deadlines for payment.

Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability?
All international students wishing to study at BUT must submit an ‘e-application’. If you have any health issues, please specify the type of your needs in the appropriate part of the electronic application.
You will receive an e-mail from us with further information. Please do not ignore our message – you may lose the entitlement to our support services.
Necessary documents to provide
Acceptable evidence :
Medical evidence of health disability related to employment
In some countries, job centres provide people with disabilities with a letter stating the impact of the relevant disability on various types of employment. You should provide this letter as evidence of your disability. The letter must include the following information:
- details of your disability or medical condition and its symptoms – if it causes fatigue, loss of concentration, anxiety, etc.
- when the diagnosis was made
- whether or not it is on-going or long-term condition
- how the conditions affects your day-to-day life
The letter must be translated into English by an authorised translator and be provided with the translator’s signature and official stamp. The letter must not be more than 2 years old.
Disability pension or benefits documentation
You may use your medical documentation connected with disability benefit or allowance as evidence of your disability. Again the document must contain information regarding:
- details of your disability or medical condition and its symptoms – if it causes fatigue, loss of concentration, anxiety, etc.
- when the diagnosis was made
- whether or not it is on-going or long-term condition
- how the conditions affects your day-to-day life
The letter must be translated into English by an authorised translator and be provided with the translator’s signature and official stamp. The documentation must not be more than 2 years old.
Disability identity card
In some countries, people with disabilities are given an official card which entitles them to various discounts (public transport, admissions to events etc.) and benefits. You should present this card as evidence of your disability; however, we will also need another document from the options in this section.
Evidence of specific learning difficulties
By the term ´student with specific learning difficulties´ we refer to a student diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dysortographia, Dysgraphia or Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorders – ADD/ADHD. We require a diagnostic assessment report which meets the following criteria:
- the assessment report must be completed and signed by a psychologist
- the assessment must have been carried out using tests for adults
- the assessment should be of a recent date (e.g. usually completed within the last 2 years)
The assessment must be translated into English by an authorised translator and provided with the translator’s signature and official stamp.
A letter from a medical professional
A recent letter or documentation, issued within the last 2 years, from a medical professional who has been responsible for your treatment. The letter or documents must include the following information:
- details of your disability or medical condition and its symptoms – if it causes fatigue, loss of concentration, anxiety etc.
- when the diagnosis was made
- whether or not it is on-going or long-term condition
- how the conditions affects your day-to-day life
The letter must be translated into English by an authorised translator and provided with the translator’s signature and official stamp.

Diferences for local and international students in the procedure
Common features:
- Both processes require official documentation proving the student’s disability or specific needs.
- The documentation must contain clear information about the condition, such as the diagnosis, its impact on daily life or studies, and confirmation from a qualified professional (e.g., psychologist or medical professional).
- In both cases, the documents are reviewed by the institution, which then determines the appropriate adjustments or support measures for the student.
Key differences:
- The international student process focuses mainly on types of acceptable medical evidence (medical letters, disability benefits documentation, diagnostic reports, disability cards). It also requires that documents be translated into English by an authorised translator and usually not older than two years.
- The local student process (BUT applicants) is procedural and application-based. Students indicate their specific needs directly in the electronic university application, after which they are invited to submit documentation and are informed about adaptations to the entrance examination. In some cases, documents may also be handled by SCIO, the external testing provider.
- The international procedure is more focused on verifying eligibility through documentation, while the local procedure emphasizes integration of the request within the admissions process and coordination of exam adjustments.
Summary:
Both systems aim to identify students with specific needs and ensure appropriate support, but they differ in structure. The international process mainly defines what evidence is acceptable, while the local VUT procedure describes how and when students request accommodations during the admissions process.
Adjustments for students with disabilities
