Students with Special Needs
Special needs
Charles University provides applicants and students with special needs with modifications to the admission procedure, study conditions, and other support services to ensure their successful completion of the admissions or studies.
Special needs are individual characteristics that that as a result of visual, hearing, physical or combined disabilities, specific learning disabilities, chronic illness or impairment, psychological disorders or impaired communication skills put a person at a disadvantage in the study/admission procedure.

How to gain status as a student with special needs
The first step in providing study services is to determine the student’s needs through a tool called diagnostic interview. This step allows for understanding the student's situation and the appropriate support measures to be set accordingly. Based on the diagnostic interview, the student receives a proposal of supporting measures, which they discuss with the faculty contact person and show to the teachers of the courses in which the proposed measures could be used. These measures may include time compensations for examinations, study assistance, individual study plan and other forms of support.
It is possible to undergo diagnostic interview at the Carolina Centre, Academic Counseling Center and Paluba Centre. Here you can find the providers of diagnostic interviews.
The contact person
At the Faculty of Humanities, you can turn to the contact person who takes care of the support for students and applicants with special needs. The contact person works closely with students, teachers, the Carolina Centre, the Student Administration Office, the institutes, and other stakeholders. If you consider using services for students with special needs, write an email to the contact person.
