Adjustment of exam arrangements
If you have a medically or clinically-psychologically verifiable study-relevant impairment, you can apply for an adjustment of exam arrangements. It is important that you notify us of your right to reasonable accommodation as soon as possible.
The process is as follows:
- 1. Specialist / clinical-psychological certificate
Ask your medical specialist or clinical psychologist to complete the Confirmation of a study-relevant impairment. Email the document as a PDF to equality4students@technikum-wien.at as soon as possible. - 2. Schedule a consultation
In the consultation (about 20 minutes, on-site or online) we discuss your situation and the framework in order to prepare a recommendation on adjusted exam arrangements for the degree program.
- 3. Degree program confirmation
The degree program decides on the specific selection and implementation of the recommended adjustments and sends you a confirmation.
- 4. List of courses for the current semester
You review the courses of the upcoming semester, select which assessments should be adjusted and submit these to the degree program — which will organise everything else.
