The quality and content of the documentation from the expert body is important for UiT to be able to make good assessments when processing applications. To achieve the best possible and fairest practice of the arrangements involving adapted examinations, we kindly ask that the expert body takes the following points into account:
- The documentation must confirm the candidate’s state of health in the given examination situation. The documentation must explicitly specify the consequences the condition has for the implementation of the examination, including a description of the effects/side effects medications or other circumstances that may be of significance in the examination situation.
- The documentation must have been issued recently (unless it applies to physical disabilities of a permanent/lasting nature and obvious chronic disorders).
- The documentation must clearly state whether the condition is of a permanent/lasting or temporary nature.
- Documented asthma and allergies do not constitute an automatic right to adaptation during examinations. However, in serious or special circumstances, additional time may be granted to rest and/or take medication during the examination.
- Learning disabilities: The documentation cannot be older than from lower secondary school.
- The documentation/certificate must be printed on original paper and be stamped and signed by the doctor.
- If the documentation states the doctor/expert body’s assessment of the measures required, decisive weight will not be attached to this assessment. It is the university’s responsibility to determine which measures are required/appropriate within the scope of the university’s regulatory provisions, academic considerations and the resources at the university’s disposal.
