  • Extended time (e.g. for students with dyslexia)
  • Oral exam or use of aids (e.g. for blind students)
  • Taking the exam in a seperate room (e.g. for students with concentration problems)

For oral exams:

  • An assistant comes along (no interference in the exam allowed)
  • Translation by a sign language interpreter
  • Taking a written exam (e.g. for students with hearing impairment or deaf students)
