Study arrangements procedures & FAQ

Procedure

1. Student Affairs (SAE) informs students and collects all applications
2. The Arrangement Commission analyses each application and approves / refuses it

4. The registrar’s office/SAC-Examen (SAC) sends a list of all students with study arrangements to all teaching staff involved two times each semester (before midterms and regular exam sessions)

Teaching staff is not autorised to decide concerning exam arrangements (written or oral exams). The Commission examines every application turned in by students precisely and considers the personal situation of every single students and their education training as a whole.

Students with disabilities that may affect their academic performance are entitled to measures to compensate for their disadvantages, provided that their disability has been certified by a specialized service or professional.

This needs to be done by submitting a complete study arrangement (hereafter arrangement) request to Student Affairs (SAE).

The Commission examines arrangement applications for exams (oral or written exams) or lectures (TP).

The commission may call upon experts in specific cases in order to better understand the limitations and problems of particular disability situations.

Arrangements approved by the Commission are organized for exam sessions and mid-terms. Details regarding study arrangements for exams will be provided to professors twice per semester.

Exemple of arrangements: more time or a tablet during exams may be approved. For lectures during the semester (also TPs) and depending on the type of disability or chronic illness, material resources may also be provided.
