  • Adjustments are granted per semester

    Adjustments are granted per semester

    Academic adjustments are granted for one semester at a time and are assessed individually for each course, based on the course's learning outcomes and teaching methods.

    If you need adjustments in the following semester, you must submit a new application with updated documentation. This also applies to long-term or permanent challenges.

  • Documentation requirements

    Documentation requirements

    To process your application for academic adjustments, you must submit documentation issued by a qualified professional, such as a doctor, psychologist, speech therapist, or specialist health care provider.

    The documentation must:

    • Describe how your medical condition or funicational impairment affects your study situation
    • Explain how it impacts your ability to attend lectures or complete your studies under ordinary conditions
    • Be dated within the same semester for which you are applying for adjustments

    Exceptions:

    For chronic conditions and dyslexia, older documentation may be accepted, but you must submit the most recent available.

    A diagnosis alone does not automatically entitle you to academic adjustments. The documentation must show that the condition causes actual difficulties in your academic life.

    It must also state:

    • Whether the need is temporary or long-term
    • The expected duration of the need
  • How to apply

    How to apply

    Applications for academic adjustments must be sent by email to eksamen@nhh.no.

    Deadlines:

    • 1 September for the autumn semester
    • 1 February for the spring semester

    We strongly recommend that you submit your application as early as possible. This allows better time for planning and follow-up.

    Please not that you cannot apply for adjustments related to teaching after the teaching period has ended.
