Special arrangements in studies and exams
A student can get special arrangements if, for example, dyslexia, attention difficulties, a sensory impairment or a long-term illness makes studying harder. The arrangements do not make the content easier – they give you an equal chance to show what you know. This guide explains how to apply for them.
You will need
- A statement from a doctor, psychologist or special needs teacher
- Your institution's instructions for applying for special arrangements
- A list of situations where you need support
- Contact details of the accessibility contact person
