Studying with a disability (toelichting bij studentenbegeleiding)
Maastricht University wants to make it as easy as possible for students with a disability to successfully complete their studies without too much delay. To prevent any obstacles from occurring, UM offers support in the form of regulations, facilities, and individual counselling.
By disability UM means all disorders that are of a permanent character and that often lead to study delay. Amongst these are (visible) motor, sensory or psychological disorders, but also non-visible disorders, such as dyslexia, RSI, chronic fatigue, depression, et cetera.
Next to UM’s structural facilities, a coherent system of student counselling is offered. Student deans, student advisors, career counsellors, and student psychologists work together to give the best possible service.
Students who (want to) study at UM and are in need of specific facilities, are advised to make an appointment with the DisAbility Support Office at an early stage, thereby enabling the UM to organise optimal study surroundings in due time.
