Support Services – Inclusion Advisory Service

Academic adjustments in examinations are intended to ensure equal opportunities for participation. They are always granted on a case-by-case basis, depending on the individual situation, upon application.

All examination regulations at Bochum University of Applied Sciences include academic adjustments, such as an extension of the examination time.

An application for special arrangements can be submitted each semester until the end of the exam registration period.

Would you like to apply for special arrangements? We’d be happy to advise you!
