Students with disabilities have the right to receive pedagogical 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.
As a student you are responsible to apply for adjustment at each final exam, to receive the support your are recommended and wish to have.
You have to apply for adjustment no later than 10 days before the exam, by sending an email to tentamensanpassning@hv.se, with following information:
Note! You must also register on Ladok
Examples of adjustments:
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.
