If you have a disability or other special circumstances, you may apply for adjusted examination arrangements.
Adjusted examination arrangements may include, for example, extra time during the exam or a separate room for taking the exam.
You can apply for adjusted examination arrangements by submitting an application for exemption on mitstudie.au.dk.
The Board of Studies for your degree programme will assess whether you are eligible for adjusted examination arrangements.
Remember to apply well in advance of the exam.
The Board of Studies processes your application in relation to all the exams you are missing in your programme.
If your application is approved, you do not need to apply again for upcoming exam periods.
This applies to both ordinary exams and any re-exams.
The Board of Studies processes your application in relation to all exams that take place during the period in which you have your temporary disability.
You must apply to the Board of Studies again if you wish to have special exam conditions for exams that fall outside the period for which you were originally granted special conditions
If your application for special exam conditions is approved, it applies to both ordinary exams and any re-exams.
Apply for special examination conditions as soon as possible if you develop an acute disability.
This could, for example, be an injury or the after-effects of surgery.
