Apply for support when studying with a disability
Karolinska Institutet offers various educational support for students with a permanent disability. Here you can read about how to apply for support when you study at KI. To get the support you need to be registered for a course at KI.
How to apply
1. Submit your application via http://www.nais.uhr.se
2. Schedule an appointment with the coordinator for students with disabilities (Bookable times will be published gradually. We are closed over the Christmas and New Years holidays.)
3. Send your certificate to the course director
After your application and your appointment with the coordinator, you will receive a certificate of recommended adaptations and support you've been granted during your studies. If you have been granted or recommended an adaptation, that your teachers should know about, such as adaptation during exams, you should send your certificate to the course director as soon as possible, no later than 2 weeks before the exam. You find your certificate in NAIS.
Decision or recommendation?
The coordinator for students with disabilities makes decisions about the supports related to the study situation. In the case of examination-related support, the coordinator makes a recommendation for support. The course examiner decides on the recommended grants, which can be granted or denied.
Period of validity
Your certificate has an expiration date. If you need support after this date, contact the coordinator for students with disabilities before the validity period has expired. If the validity period has expired, you need to submit a new application in NAIS.
