Rea­son­able Ac­com­mo­da­tions

Reasonable Accommodations (German: Nachteilsausgleich/NTA) are intended to ensure equal opportunities for participation in studies and to avoid discrimination. Reasonable accommodations are supported in the field of education by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (§ 24 para. 5 UN CRPD). Reasonable accommodation is the legal entitlement of students with disabilities or chronic illnesses to needs-based adaptation of study and examination conditions. The aim is to compensate for existing disadvantages due to disability or chronic disease. Reasonable accommodations are always tailored to the individual situation and adapted to the disability-related impairments.

Detailed guidelines on how to request and organise reasonable accommodation can be found here:
