Study with disabilities

You can receive support if you have a disability such as dyslexia, ADHD or impaired vision. The purpose with the support is that you should be able to study on equal terms. Learn more about common support measures and how to apply for support.

Examples of support are extended time, mentoring support, or getting access to a computer running special software during written examinations. To get support, you need to make an application and get a decision. If you have a temporary injury or illness, you are not entitled to the support described on these pages.
