Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The examiner decides, in consultation with KTH’s coordinator for support to students with disabilities (Funka), about possible customized examination for students with documented and permanent functional disability. The examiner may offer a different type of examination for re-exam of occasional students.
