Students with disabilities have the right to receive targeted study support in their studies. The aim of the support is to compensate for any limitations imposed by students’ disabilities in relation to the study environment.
You can have adjustments on your exams/submissions such as for example extended time, the possibility to sit in a smaller exam room etc.
As a student you are responsible to apply for adjustment at each exam, to receive the support you have been granted and wish to have.
To apply for adjustments on your written home exam, you need to contact the responsible teacher/examiner at the beginning of the course. It is up to the examinator to descide upon adjustments.
For more information about adjustments on exams see Exam.
You can have assistance with making notes during teaching sessions and scheduled seminars. A fellow student in the same study group provides this support.
A mentor can help you with assistance with planning and structuring your studies, if you find that difficult because of your disability. The mentor is a student on University West who has experience of higher education.
You can ask your teacher if you can get access to the lecture material in advance, as reading material.
The coordinator for students with disabilities will contact the library, if you are in need of talking books. You can use a computer, portable reading devices or a mobile for listening to the talking books.
The software TorTalk is installed on the computers at the university. TorTalk is a speech synthesis that you can use to read the text on the screen.
