Areas of responsibility for support and adjustments
Support and adjustments are only made on the student’s initiative and the student must play an active role in the support and adjustments made.
Within the university, there are different departments that are responsible for and, where applicable, decide on different forms of support. There is also support that the student does not need to apply for and is available to everyone.
