As an exchange or guest student at Aalborg University you are not covered on the same terms as a full degree student when it comes to Special Educational Support (SPS). You must contact your home university regarding this support.

But you can still apply for special conditions during exams. You must contact the Study Board in order to apply (you will find a list of study boards here).  The rest of the information on this page is for students who are enrolled in a full- degree programme at Aalborg University.

The General Student Guidance at Aalborg University offers you guidance on your well-being, study technique and motivation, study doubt and study skills or group collaboration and conflicts. We have several tools, methods, and knowledge that we can draw on and guide you.

• Book a session

Please contact your study programme before starting at AAU. They can answer questions about:  

• Classrooms and accessibility
• Choice of study and alternative study plan
• Study environment
• Special conditions for the exam (e.g. extended time for exams and/or permission to use study aids)  

Find your Study Board

Information and support from Olivia Danmark for students with a psychological or neurological condition (SPS).

You do not need to contact us, as we are also notified of the approval. When we receive the approval, we will order the support/aids.

You can receive support as long as you are enrolled as an active student at AAU

When you graduate you will receive a recall letter stating which aids are to be handed over and how they are to be handed over to the supplier. If you terminate your studies, you must contact the SPS office, and you will receive a recall letter.

If you are dyslexic or have a disability, you can apply for special conditions for the exam, e.g. extended exam time or use of study aids. Please contact your Study Board for information and submit your application for special conditions to the Study Board as soon as possible.

You can take the aids with you to a new study programme. You must contact the SPS counsellor at your new place of study, who will apply to have the aids transferred.

No, you cannot buy the aids.

If your computer crashes or does not work satisfactorily, you must contact the agency's supplier, Atea, as the aid must be submitted to Atea for repair. You can contact Atea by phone (the number is 7021 1286) or by mail sps@atea.dk.
