Accessibility
- In Denmark, services to students with disabilities is provided by a national special educational support program (SPS), as part of the Danish healthcare system. Unfortunately, exchange students are not covered by this program. This means that any service that costs money is not available for exchange students. Students needing those services will be required to pay for and/or arrange those services themselves.
- Students who have been approved for academic accommodations for e.g. extended exam time can, however, apply to their AU Study Board to have those same accommodations apply at AU. They are advised to contact their AU academic coordinator, who will be able to assist them with all issues related to their studies at AU.
