On the one hand, within this programme we inform about the regulations in force in the UV for students with disability: fee exemption, place reserve, term, call limits as well as grants, training courses, work placements, etc.
On the other hand, we evaluate the specific educational needs through an individual interview and propose the curricular adaptation appropriate for the disability of the student.
During the whole process is carried out an educational and/or vocational assessment addressed to the students’ decision making in their university studies.
Information
The most common inquiries that we receive make reference to the Regulations of the UV about attention to students with disability, passed ACGUV 6 July 2010:
- 5% of places reserved to the access to a degree qualification
- Fee exemption: enrolment, notes certificate, degree dispatch, official masters, doctoral programmes, etc.
- Adequation of schedules prior valuation and/or report of the Unit for the Integration of People with Disabilities.
- Curricular adaptations: extra time; type of exam, oral/multiple choice... prior valuation and/or report of the Unit for the Integration of People with Disabilities.
We will also provide information about the following issues:
- Services offered in the Libraries of the UV: additional time in borrowed books, adapted posts, etc.
- Clarification about the continuance policy.
Assessment
The collective of students with disabilities can request advice to adequate the rhythm and the time they need in the teaching-learning activities on:
- Schedule planning.
- Study techniques.
- Choice of the number of credits and elective courses.
- Orientation in the choice of work placements.
- Career counseling...
The Teaching and Research Staff (PDI) as well as the Administrative and Service Staff (PAS) are also informed about the students’ needs referred to methodology, adaptation, personal and/or material resources...
Evaluation
The valorations carried out are addressed to determine which curricular adaptations are necessary for the students depending on their disability:
- Teaching methodology
- Exam modality
- Usage of additional time
- Determination of the font size
- Usage of support products, etc.
After this valoration, it is sent to the responsible in each case a technical report, where appear the required needs, adaptations and resources.
If it is determined the need of having technical and/or personal support, the technical report will be sent to the Equal Opportunities programme that manages the available resources.
