Adapted studies

Do you have a disability, special needs, or illness that makes it difficult to study?

You may be entitled to individual adaptation of your everyday studies and/or exams. Individual adaptation is intended to compensate for the disadvantages caused by your functional impairment.

Individual adaptation can not lead to a disproportionate burden for AHO, reduce the academic requirements or give the student an advantage compared to fellow students. It will therefore vary between different study programs and subjects which adaptation that can be granted.

Examples of what can provide a basis for individual adaptation: 

• Dyslexia 
• Reduced functional ability
• Mental challenges 
• Psycho-social difficulties 
• Visual impairment 
• Reduced hearing 

Regarding exam accommodations, here are some possible measures:

• Extended deadline
• Resting time and/or breastfeeding breaks
• Seperate room

How to apply for individual adaption

Fill out the application form for adaptated studies and upload a confirmation from a doctor/expert in the form. Sensitive information should not be sent via e-mail.

The documentation must contain the following information: 

• The student's full name, birthdate, and Norwegian National Identity number (if applicable). 
• Description of the challenges your functional impairment presents
• Duration
• Recommended adaptation measures 
• Signature of doctor or expert

Apply for adapted studies in this application form.
