The University promotes inclusive teaching that recognizes and values individual differences. We aim to establish a dialogue from the outset among students, the SDDA, and faculty in order to identify appropriate study methods and effective teaching strategies.

Compensatory tools and exemption measures are agreed upon individually in collaboration with the SDDA, which assesses their necessity based on clinical documentation and the student’s individual profile.

These measures are then formally communicated to faculty members by the delegated instructor, authorizing their implementation during examinations.

Please note: These measures do not include a reduction of course content.
