The purpose of individual adaptation is to compensate the disadvantages the disability/the special needs causes the student while maintaining the academic requirements for the course.
Good individual adaptations rely on good collaboration between the faculty and you as a student. You have a shared responsibility to propose appropriate measures, and you should have an active dialogue with your faculty to clarify your needs and possible measures. It is important to contact your faculty as early as possible because it can take time to put the adaptation measures in place.
No complete list detailing relevant adaptation measures exists, as any such measures must be assessed on a case by case basis.
If you need adaptation to work requirements/tests, please contact your studyadministration /teacher etc. in good time before implementation.
UiT The Arctic University of Norway is responsible for granting some of the adaptation measures, while in other cases the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Organisation (NAV) and/or your municipal council is responsible. Please clarify your needs with your contact person.
The Arctic Student Welfare Organisation can assist if you need adapted housing or a professional to talk with. For more information, please visit: Norway's Arctic Student Welfare Organisation.
