Apply for pedagogical accommodations when studying with a disability
Karolinska Institutet offers various pedagogical accommodations for students with a permanent disability. Here you can read about how to apply for accommodations when you study at KI.
How to apply
1. Submit your application via http://www.nais.uhr.se
You must attach to your application a document that proves permanent disability. In the document, your name (or Swedish personnummer) must appear, the name and title of the expert person who wrote the document, the date it was written and the scope of the activity for which it was written (for example, the name of the care facility). It also needs to be stated that your disability is long-term or permanent, and what kind of disability it is (diagnosis or description).
You might find everything you need in your medical record at 1177.se (Swedish healthcare). Take a screenshot and attach it to your application.
2. Schedule an appointment with the coordinator for students with disabilities (Bookable times will be published successively.)
If your application is complete and it is clear what your needs are, it can be processed without a call. If you want to discuss accommodations, you are welcome to book an appointment at any time during the semester.
3. Send your certificate to the course director
After your application and your appointment with the coordinator, you will receive a certificate of the accommodations that you have been granted or recommended. If there is something your teachers should know about, such as adaptation during exams, you should send your certificate to the course director as soon as possible. You find your certificate in NAIS.
Decision or recommendation?
The coordinator for students with disabilities makes decisions about accommodations related to the study situation, and gives recommendations about accommodations related to exams. The course examiner decides on the recommended accommodation, which can be granted or denied.
Period of validity
Your certificate has an expiration date. If you need accommodations 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.
