Assistance Measures

Overview

Overview

The University of Applied Sciences of Grisons promotes equal opportunities and equality for its students. To this end, it breaks down cultural and structural barriers and supports students in their individuality. It implements the legal principles of equality and prevents discrimination.

If you have a disability or chronic illness that makes studying difficult, you can apply for reasonable adjustments for assessment tasks. These support students with disabilities and chronic illnesses in their studies and in sitting examinations. Reasonable adjustments are granted on an individual basis and do not constitute any relaxation of examination requirements.

The Support for Students with Disabilities service is happy to advise, support and guide you. Please get in touch with us.
