In co-operation with the Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI), the Faculty of Information Technology provides access to study support to students with special educational needs subject to fulfilment of the conditions specified below.

Special educational needs mean special needs of a student on grounds of:

  • specific learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysorthography, etc.),
  • disability (visual, hearing or locomotive impairment),
  • autism spectrum disorders (eg. Asperger syndrome),
  • mental disease,
  • long-term somatic disease.

Support in studies means adaptation of the study conditions by the Faculty and/or making available the student support services of the Institute of Lifelong Learning.

Information on the student support services provided by the LLI is available on the website of the Alfons Counselling Centre.
