Support for students with SLD in taking exams
It is possible to adapt the learning and evaluation modalities for students with SLD, according to Law 170/2010 and Guidelines attached to Ministerial Decree 5669/2011 without prejudice of the educational aims.
In the university field, for all kinds of assessment (exams, mid-term exams etc.), it is possible to request, for example:
- change from written exams to oral exams
- 30% of extra time for written exams
- evaluation focused on contents rather than on form
- employment of PC for writing (the supply of the device will be agreed with the teacher)
- use of non-scientific calculator
- support in reading
- mind maps/formularies (such compensatory aids must be sent to the teachers earlier, because they need to approve the contents and structure).
In order to benefit from these supports, it is mandatory to send your certification to Studenti con Disabilità e DSA office.
If you enrolled for the first time in UniTo from the academic year 2023-2024 onwards, you must also possess the "A TU PER TU" document, following the path indicated on the dedicated webpage:
At the beginning of every course, you can talk with the teachers to describe your educational needs for the lessons and for the exams.
In order to take the exams with the support of compensatory instruments and/or dispensatory measures, about 15 working days before the date of the exam, you must:
- send an email to the teacher, inserting the address [email protected] as copy (cc.)
- attach to your email the individual support request form for exams, duly filled in. You don’t have to attach your certification of SLD
- the teacher will verify your request according to your difficulties, but also to the specific educational aims of the course.
