Types of Accommodations in the Instructional Process

Higher education institutions regulate the possibilities for ensuring accessibility for students with disabilities through internal rulebooks (statutes/regulations). The Rulebook on Studying in Undergraduate and Graduate Programmes at the University of Zagreb, Article 17, points 7 and 11 (Rulebook, 2024), specifies the following possible adaptations for students with disabilities:

• (7) Individualised study conditions include the adaptation of the instructional process and examination procedures without compromising academic standards and in accordance with the established learning outcomes, which are the same for all students.
• (10) Individualised study conditions for a student with a disability may include: extended time for written exams and colloquia, graphic adaptation of instructional materials (enlarged letters and line spacing, etc.), digitalised literature, support from another person (peer support, sign language interpreter, etc.), use of assistive technology, other adaptations in accordance with the general act of the constituent unit (Faculty/Academy) or the University.
