Disadvantage compensation

An application for compensation for disadvantages (e.g. in the form of examination time extensions or alternative forms of examination) can be submitted if necessary. The form of compensation for disadvantages should correspond to the individual requirements of the student. You will be invited to a personal interview. Here you will also receive the application for compensation for disadvantages.

The qualified medical certificate, which must be submitted with the application for compensation for disadvantages at the latest during the examination registration period, must include the following points:

1. which abilities are limited by your impairments and in what way?

2. does a form of therapy exist and would this make it possible to minimise the impairments?

3. to what extent and over what period of time can the impairments be reduced?

The university's examination board then decides on the application, taking into account the recommendation of the person responsible for disability and chronic illness.

Students with a disability or chronic illness are often not recognised as students with special needs. This is especially true if the impairment is not visible. Confidential counselling is therefore important in all student matters. Special care is taken to ensure that a disability or chronic illness does not result in stigmatisation or other disadvantages.
