4. Measures concerning you

Contents: Measures for courses and study requirements.

When designing courses and study requirements / credits, the teaching staff must take possible disadvantage compensation into account. This can include measures such as

• Individual deadlines
• Replacement of written by oral academic achievements (or vice versa)
• Admission to the examination, even if admission requirements are not yet fully met

When organising examinations, the teaching staff must take possible disadvantage compensations into account. This can include measures such as 

• Technically accessible design of exams (In analogue terms, this means accessibility to the room and workplace. In digital terms, this means approval of examination documents, submission, ...)
• Adapted task, e.g. different font, font size or line spacing 
• Admission of writing instruments or other aids or assistance.
• Extended or postponed processing time
• Individual break times 
• Provision of substitute services (e.g. written through oral academic achievements (or vice versa))

For any adjustments, the module guide can serve as a template to show leeway. It should state which competences are to be acquired in the corresponding modules. The way to achieve this can vary.

The need for and nature of disadvantage compensation can vary considerably even for the same disability. The specific circumstances at the place of study and the specific requirements of the degree programme, including the examination conditions, play a decisive role in this regard.

Students may withdraw their request for disadvantage compensation if there is an improvement in their state of health.
