SLU has a responsibility to provide support and guidance to all students, including those with physical or learning disabilities. SLU offers students with disabilities a number of learning assistance options, and is committed to enabling all students to fulfil their academic potential.
Students with disabilities are advised to make contact with the university coordinator to discuss the level of support they require and which option would best suit them. It is highly recommended that this be done before they commence their studies at SLU. When applying for support, students must present a medical certificate that describes the kind of disability they have and to what degree.
SLU offers a range of learning support to students, including:
• Note-taking assistance.
• Course literature in alternative formats, such as audio books.
• Mentors.
• Sign language interpretation (Swedish sign language).
• Extra teaching and tuition.
• Alternative forms of examination, such as oral (instead of written) exams and extended exam time.
Please contact the university coordinator for students with disabilities if you have any questions or wish to apply for learning assistance.
