How to inform your educational institution about your special need at the start of your degree programme

- It can be a good idea to request a meeting with a study adviser or student counsellor as soon as possible. Provide information about your special need before you begin your degree programme. That way, you and your degree programme can come up with agreements to help you be as successful as possible in your studies.
- If you have a special need that is presenting obstacles to your education, you should tell the school as soon as possible. Together, you can explore whether this might affect rules such as the binding study advice (BSA) or the attendance requirement and how they apply to you.
