Register yourself
Do you have a physical disability, a chronic illness, dyslexia or a psychological disability? And do you need facilities during your studies? Preferably register this immediately when registering for your study programme. It is possible to register later or make changes to your data. Before requesting a facility, please read the information on facilities during examinations and on campus below.
Privacy
Your data will be registered in the information system of VU Amsterdam. The information about your disability is very confidential, so we handle it very carefully. That is why only a limited number of VU employees have access to specific information about disabilities.
Contact your academic advisor
For all your questions about studying with a disability and to request all the facilities you need, please contact your academic advisor.
For example:
- applying for facilities on campus
- educational facilities (including adjusted planning, attendance requirement)
- facilities for exams (including extra time)
- (possible) study delay due to your disability
- help with study planning
- questions about the Binding recommendation on continuation of studies (BSA)
- the financial support regulation called Profile Fund
Newsletter
If you indicate that you have a disability when registering at VU Amsterdam in Studielink you will be informed about relevant topics in the field of studying with a disability via a newsletter, if desired.
Contact
Please contact your academic advisor for all questions regarding studying with a disability.
