Support for students with disabilities

Support for students with disabilities

Students with disabilities may have the right to certain compensatory support for example during examination. 
 
KTH has coordinators for students with disabilities, Funka, who deals with issues relating to functional disabilities. You should turn to Funka at funka@kth.se for information about support. 
 

Course specific compensatory support:

For the exam:

No requirement to fill out the form:

  1. The following compensatory support will always be accepted - arrangements will automatically be made by Tentafunka:

  • Arrangements regarding room, time or physical constraints, like for example longer writing time, special room or medical arrangements.

  1. The following compensatory support will be accepted, given it will be arranged by Tentafunka

  • Write on a computer (only computers from Tentafunka are accepted)

  • Dictionary (English/Swedish, but no mathematical reference works besides the ones accepted for all students)

Support that always has to be applied for via form:

  1. The following support will be accepted, given that the student has applied for it until the deadline (25 november kl. 23:59) using the application form.
  • Special print of the exam (contrast, size, ...)

  • Exam read to student (this only applies to text, i.e. no formulas will be read out loud)

Special support that will not be accepted:

  • References and other aids other than the ones stated on the exam. 

    Not allowed since the aim of the course is to solve problems related to Statistical Machine Learning  with the methods developed in the course and general skills acquired in previous required courses.
  • Oral examination instead of written one
    Not allowed since this will change the nature of the examination.

Grade improvement (plussning):

Grade improvement is possible (special rules for bonus points apply, they can only be used once). If Tentafunka does not arrange or is not responsible for compensatory support, then the grade improvement will happen without compensatory support.
