Studying as a BeAble participant

Titelbild Studieren als Programmteilnehmer*in

Once you are accepted into the BeAble program, you will receive a recommendation by e-mail, in which the recommended accommocations for you are listed. You can use this recommendation letter to take advantage of the accommodations and services offered by the BeAble program.

Since your participation in the BeAble program is not centrally recorded and is not automatically communicated to your lecturers, you may want to use your recommendation letter as needed in different situations.

Use of the recommendation

Here you will find an overview of the possibilities how you can use the recommendation letter to receive the recommended accommodations:

Want to take an exam during exam week?

You want to take an exam outside of exam week (e.g. in the context of a VUE, PI)?

Period of validity of the recommendation

The accommodation recommendations we issue are each issued for a limited period of time and may be extended after consultation.
