What are the rights of students with learning disabilities?
If you have a disability or a health problem that entails significant inconvenience during an exam, you may apply for special examination arrangements. You may also apply for bilingual dictionary if Norwegian is not your mother tongue.
You can apply for extended time on home exams, your bachelor’s or master’s thesis and other assignments.
Tibi lends out audio books and e-books. Anyone who has difficulties reading printed text due to disability or illness may join Tibi. The service is free.
The reading and writing tool Lingdys is designed to help people who have dyslexia or other forms of reading and writing difficulties. The combination of spell checking, dictionaries, word completion, screen reader and artificial speech allows the program to provide comprehensive and effective help with both reading and writing in Norwegian and English.
The additional grant for applicants with reduced functional ability is intended for applicants who are capable of studying, but due to reduced functional ability, use so much time and energy on their studies, that they cannot engage in paid employment while also studying, without this affecting their normal educational progress.
