Procedures for students

Procedure to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities

This institution has not provided information about how to be recognised as a student with fewer opportunities.

Procedure to be recognised as a student with a disability

A student can request for a recognition as a student with disabilities via https://mijnslb.pxl.be. (This url only works from the moment the student is enrolled.) This request is being treated by the 'dienst studievoortgang'. With the recognition as a student with disabilities, the student can ask for specific adjustments within the study program.

For more information: contact the person responsible for the disability office.

For Belgian students there are specific guidelines available from Belgian services. Students from abroad should contact the person responsible for the disability office to find out which documents from the country of origin can be used.

In PXL University of Applied Sciences and Arts we want to provide maximum development opportunities for all our students. We do that on the one hand by offering a powerful learning environment for everyone. One the other hand, there are specific adjustments for those who need them. In case of specific adjustments we start from the individual needs of the student.
