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?
Contact with the student counselor: [email protected]
During a conversation, we will check if and what adjustments are needed. Every year, before the start of the academic year, an e-mail is sent to all students, asking them to indicate whether they expect to need any adaptations because of a disability and whether they want to discuss this with the student counsellor.
Necessary documents to provide
Depending on the disability.
Most of our adjustments are inclusive or can be made in consultation with the head of department.
What can students expect?
The study is to a large extent individually oriented. As a result, there is quite a lot of inclusiveness with regard to adaptations and these are often also available to students who do not have a diagnosed disability.

Other adjustments and services for students with disabilities offered at the institution
Depending on the disability, the necessary adjustments are made.
In the first place, only those adjustments are made which are necessary to follow the study and which are not relevant for daily life.
In general:
There are two examinations per academic year. These examinations are an overview of the assignments carried out during the semester. Usually, it is not necessary to make adjustments to this, because the form is relatively flexible.
For written assignments, it is possible to get extra time. This is done in consultation with the lecturer concerned
