Compensation for disadvantages
Students with a chronic illness or disability have a right to compensation for disadvantages if they are unable to complete all or part of their coursework and/or examinations in the prescribed form within the specified deadlines. These are not adjustments to the content of the examinations. Compensation for disadvantages is intended to ensure that students with disabilities can study under equivalent conditions.
