Accommodations for disadvantages

2. Application process

1. The student submits an application in writing to the responsible examination board.
2. The responsible examination body decides on the authorisation, if necessary after consultation with the representative for students with disabilities.
3. After approval, the student receives a written notification with a list of the approved measures. This can be presented to lecturers.

The legal handling of impairments and possible disadvantage compensation during studies is complex. This is due, among other things, to three requirements that must be demonstrably fulfilled in order for a staff member to be able to apply for disadvantage compensation in writing. Suitable measures are selected on a case-by-case basis and should follow certain guidelines.
