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?
Under certain conditions students may be eligible for a scholarship issued by the Flemish Community. The main criterium is your nationality, or more particularly, the type of visa or residence permit you have to reside in Belgium. Check https://www.kdg.be/en/students/guidance-and-support#study-finance-content for more information.

Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability
What is the procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability?
KdG guarantees personalised support where necessary. Students with special needs can apply for certain individual measures, which are set down in an 'Individual Learning Certificate' (ILC). This is a certificate between you (the student) and the university college, containing specified accommodations in the areas of education and examinations.
This will enable you to overcome specific difficulties and hence increase your chances of success. The knowledge and skills to be acquired remain unchanged: with or without an ILC, the qualifications obtained have the same value.
