Disability facilities at University College Venlo (UCV)
UCV has facilities for students with a disability or chronic illness. Which facilities you may use depends on your personal situation. To request facilities, please contact the student counselor for your programme or Disability Support.
Based on your request, Disability Support will issue a recommendation regarding the facilities that may be granted to you. Please note: the Board of Examiners eventually decides whether these recommended facilities can be granted given the diploma requirements at UCV.
Examples of exam facilities
- extra exam time
- exam papers in larger font size
- exams can be done in a separate room at the faculty
- use of a computer/laptop for exams
- alternative exam forms, such as verbal instead of written exams
Examples of educational facilities
- adaptations to teaching material offered: course books, readers and additional teaching material supplied during the tutorial group/lecture can be obtained in an adapted form (A3 instead of A4)
- reduced course load for first-year students (prior to receiving a Binding Study Advice)
- customized classroom for hearing-impaired students
Please note: in case you need other facilities than the ones mentioned above, we recommend that you first contact the UCV student counselors to discuss the possibilities. The student counselors can then consult with the Board of Examiners to discuss if and what alternative forms of support could be available in your situation.
While we strive to accommodate all students' needs, there may be instances where specific compulsory elements within a curriculum, such as laboratory skills, present challenges for adaptation. We are committed to exploring alternative solutions and support measures wherever feasible to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all students. If you have concerns or require further assistance regarding specific curriculum requirements, please don't hesitate to reach out to your student counselor.
