Compensation for disadvantages can be claimed by students if they have a chronic illness or a disability and are therefore unable to complete the examination performance in the prescribed form and/or duration, or can only complete it in part. The examination performance is then adapted by using technical aids, a different type of examination or a longer processing time (see Section 21 (1) ABPO). Neither the content nor the level of difficulty of the social services: benefits are changed by compensation for disadvantages, only the framework conditions are modified in such a way that equal participation is made possible as far as possible.
Before submitting an application, please read the following detailed information on compensation for disadvantages carefully.
Preferred module selection Timetable
Preferential module selection in the timetable is available to students with:
- Children up to 12 years with birth certificate
- caring relatives with proof of care
- a disability or chronic illness with a certificate
and is intended to allow university studies to take place as well as possible under the circumstances stated. If you would like to make use of this, please apply for this by email to the contact person listed below by 31 August for the winter semester or 28 February for the summer semester at the latest with the following information:
- Surname
- First name

- Keyword reason for the preferred module selection including the evidence provided

Applications submitted after the deadline cannot be considered.
Submit the application for compensation for disadvantages for the winter semester by 1 December and for the summer semester by 1 June. Retroactive application for compensation for disadvantages after an examination is excluded. If you need assistance with your application, please contact Corinna Steinebronn. Otherwise, the application must be submitted in full with suitable evidence to Prof Dr Michael Kaib, who will decide on the application. If compensation for disadvantages is granted, please inform the examination coordinator and the relevant instructors independently. Any compensation for disadvantages granted does not replace the registration for the examination, which must be made in any case in addition.
