• a functional impairment
• a medical condition
  
• other special needs that result in significant disadvantages in an examination situation compared with others
• an acute injury or illness

The purpose of special examination arrangements is to compensate for a functional impairment to the greatest extent possible, without it giving the student an unreasonable advantage. 

Special arrangements that entail a reduction in the academic requirements for the individual course or study programme will not be granted.

Examples of special arrangements you can apply for:

• extended time for the examination
  
• use of a desktop PC (not applicable to digital examinations)
• desktop with the use of Lingdys software (software for reading and writing difficulties)
• table that can be raised and lowered and an adjustable chair
  

Other measures may be granted when there are particularly weighty reasons for doing so.

The university may grant special examination arrangements for the normal duration of a study programme for candidates with long-term needs for special arrangements. If you are delayed in your studies beyond the normal duration, you must apply again.

Deadline for applying for special arrangements for an examination: 

• Autumn semester: 15 September
• Spring semester: 1 February
  

In cases where the need for special arrangements has arisen after the application deadline, or there are other special reasons, applications may still be considered. In such cases, the application must be submitted without undue delay, and no later than one (1) week prior to the examination.
