“‘Disabled students can request reasonable accommodations in the form of additional equipment and aids, as far as this is necessary to establish equal opportunities. For this purpose, the time allotted for the examination (examination duration) can also be extended to a reasonable extent or the taking of the exam in another form can be approved.”

The request for reasonable accommodations must be submitted to the examination board with an informal application and a medical certificate and handed in to the Student Office.The request must be submitted at the latest when you register for the examination. If you want to know more about the possibilities of compensating for disadvantages, you can read more on the website of the German Student Services (Studentenwerk) .
