Support to students with disabilities at EFRI
The Faculty continuously works towards adjusting to student needs, regardless of the need. With this in mind, the Faculty looks to modify the studying conditions to meet the needs of the students with disabilities. For example, classes for study groups in which there are students which have difficulty in moving around are organized in lecture halls on floors reachable by elevators; the students who have some motor or visual difficulties impeding them to take regular examination are given more time to write examinations, or have oral examinations instead of written. Moreover, the Faculty has removed architectural barriers to adjust the water closets to meet the needs of people with mobility impairments.
In case our students need adjustments regarding classes or examinations and have any issues related to their rights during studies, they may turn to the Faculty’s Coordinator for students with disabilities.
