FAQ - Studying with a Disability

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions from students to the BOKU Disability Officer. If you have any questions, please contact ruth.scheiber@boku.ac.at.

Alternative examination methods & compensation for disadvantages

Students with a long-term impairment (physical disability and/or chronic/mental illness) have the right to alternative examination methods (e.g., written instead of oral examination (or vice versa), more exam time, and many other modalities) if the disability/health impairment makes it impossible to take the exam using the prescribed method and the content and requirements of the exams are not compromised by a different method. This means: exams with the same content and the same performance, but a different mode.
FAQ - Medical certificate
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the type of medical evidence required to prove a physical or mental impairment.
