Adaptations to the education process
The aim of these adaptations is to ensure equal educational opportunities for persons with special needs, including those with disabilities, by providing them with full access to education at VIZJA University, whilst maintaining the full academic standards. These adjustments apply to all forms and programmes of first-cycle studies, second-cycle studies, integrated master’s programmes and doctoral studies offered at VIZJA University and its branches.
Students and PhD students who hold a disability certificate and/or have special needs may apply for adjustments to the learning process.
Applications for an Adaptation Card are accepted throughout the academic year.
Important! If your application concerns adjustments relating to assessments and exams, please submit your application well in advance – at least 4 weeks before the exams and assessments.
Here is an overview of the procedures for applying for an Adaptation Card:
