There are various ways for students at the University of Oldenburg to apply for compensation for personal restrictions and burdens in connection with university requirements. This applies to both studies and examinations.

Personal restrictions or burdens can be, for example

Dyslexia, partial performance weakness, trauma, chronic illness, special life situations (single parent, family carer, breastfeeding etc.) etc.

Please note that Allowances for special needs must be clarified with the relevant examiners before registering for an examination.
