During the application and admission procedure for enrolment in 1st-cycle and 2nd-cycle study programmes, candidates may apply for a
status of a candidate with special needs or
status of a candidate with special status on the basis of which they can be added to the list of candidates admitted post-deadline. However, they must nonetheless meet the admission requirements laid down in the accredited study programme and achieve at least 90% of the required score.
Candidates apply for the status by individual application, which must be
accompanied by relevant supporting documents proving:
-
Special needs that arose by the end of secondary school (application for enrolment in
1st-cycle and integrated master's study programmes) or by the end of their previous study (application for enrolment in 2nd-cycle study programmes). Candidates with special needs are blind or partially sighted candidates or candidates with a visual impairment, deaf and hard of hearing candidates, candidates with speech impairments, candidates with deficits in individual learning areas, candidates with reduced mobility, candidates with a long-term illness, candidates with autism spectrum disorders and candidates with emotional and behavioural disorders.
-
Special status that proves the status of a categorised athlete or coach, recognised artist, or other candidate participating in international competitions, or a candidate - parent until the start of their child's compulsory schooling. Special status is taken into consideration if it existed in the period considered for admission.
