What are the educational and exam facilities?
Together with the student, the study needs assessor and staff of the study programme examine which educational and/or exam accommodations are useful and feasible. You are not automatically entitled to accommodations, these are provided in consultation with the staff of the study programme and are reasonable adjustments. Your education and exam accommodations can be renewed annually or are valid throughout your school career at LUCA.
Accommodations must not jeopardize the acquisition of the final competences. Only the process and the way in which the competencies are acquired will be adjusted. As a result, the allocated education and examination accommodations do not jeopardize the principles of the principle of equality for all students within the study programme.
