Counseling offers for students with disabilities
Counseling for students with disabilities and chronic illnesses in the social counseling office
back to the topThe counseling office of the Studentwerk will gladly help you with your questions. It is a member the IGB-network and because of that, it can fall back on experience and knowledge when it comes to combining disabilities and studying.
It is not always easy for students with handicaps to handle their studies, be it because of limitations due to chronic illnesses or because of disabilities. In such cases, the counseling office wants to be your point of contact.
Disadvantage compensation
back to the topYou should be well informed about your rights even before you begin your studies. This concerns different disadvantage compensations; i.e. when applying at a university or during your studies.
-
Application
You can already receive special considerations when first applying at a university. For example, you can receive special consideration when applying to the ZVS when it comes to the university or waiting time if hardships due to disabilities arise for the applicant.
-
During your Studies
During your studies, it is possible to receive disadvantage compensations due to disabilities within the study and exam regulations.
In those cases, a timely notification naming the limitations due to illnesses and contacting the respective examination board are important.
