Studying with a disability

Codarts is committed to promoting equal opportunities for all students, including students with a disability.

Studying with a disability

Codarts - Studying with a disability

At Codarts, we believe it is important that students with a disability can fully participate in education. This includes physical or sensory impairments, chronic illnesses, psychological issues, or learning and concentration disorders such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia. Do you need support? We’re happy to explore suitable accommodations with you.

What to Expect

If you inform our student counsellors at the start or during your studies that you have a disability, we can work together to arrange appropriate adjustments, such as:

  • Exam accommodations: extra time, scheduling flexibility, enlarged materials
  • Tools and aids: use of a laptop or software
  • Guidance: additional support from your program
  • Tailored arrangements: adjustments to schedules or deadlines

These provisions are documented in an individual study agreement via Osiris.

Your role as a student

You are responsible for requesting support. We recommend contacting the student counsellor before your studies begin (or as early as possible). Everything you share will be treated confidentially.

Study delay and financial arrangements

Is your study taking more time due to your disability? In consultation with the student counsellor, you may be eligible for:

  • Extension of student finance (DUO)
  • Support through the student support fund

A statement from a doctor or therapist is usually required. Our student counsellors can assist you in applying for these arrangements.

External support

The ECIO Expertise Centre for Inclusive Education offers practical tips, tools, and information about studying with a disability. This includes support cards for ADHD, autism, or dyslexia that can help when requesting accommodations.
