Working and studying without barriers

The TUM Student Counseling: Studying and Impairment is be happy to advise and support you with any questions and problems that arise due to a disability or chronic illness.

Accommodating Disabilities during Examinations

The TUM General Academic and Examination Regulations state that the type and extent of a disability should be taken into consideration during examinations. Affected students can petition the examination committee of their respective school or college to arrange special accommodations.

The application form and more information can be found on the website “Accommodating Disabilities during Examinations” and on the website of the Board of Examiners.

Early course registration

The Department Health and Sport Sciences offers early course registration in order to remove barriers when studying with a disability or chronic illness. This preferential selection should make it possible to plan and organise the course of studies better in combination with predictable times absent, for example regular doctor’s visits or hospital stays.

For the application, please include a statement explaining how early course registration could compensate for disadvantages arising due to your disability or chronic illness. Please provide a medical certificate with your application.

The deadlines for early registrations can be found on the page of Compatibility of Family and Studies/Occupation. Please submit your application including the statement and medical certificate until one week prior to the deadline, to ensure a review of your application before the deadline ends. Please send the application, along with the relevant documentation (medical certificate, letter of application with signature) as a PDF directly to the diversity officer.
