How to access the services

If you are a UAB student and want to access our services, you must register with us. To do so, you must fill in the application form through the E-Office (you will need to attach the relevant supporting documentation). The electronic form is only available to people who have a Spanish DNI. If you do not have one, you will have to fill in the form in person at the Registry Office (Rector's Office building). 

Who can request adaptations? 

  • Students in possession of a disability certificate (Spanish or foreign).
  • Students without a disability certificate, and who have duly diagnosed medical or psychological circumstances (for example: mental disorder, ASD, dyslexia, ADHD, chronic illness, etc.) 
  • Students who have had adaptations at other universities or in previous studies. 

How to request adaptations? 

You must make a request for adaptations through the E-Office (remember that if you don't have a Spanish ID you must fill the application form in person in the Registry Office). Once you send it, we will contact you (within a maximum period of 20 days) to make an appointment for an assessment interview. It is important that you apply well in advance (in the case of adaptations for the exams, at least two weeks before). 

To request adaptations, it is essential to provide at least one of the following documents: 

  • Full certificate of disability (Spanish or international)
  • A certificate of adaptations in Spain's university entrance exams (PAU)
  • Documentation accrediting adaptations in other universities or in previous studies (if you are an exchange student, this can be the report o certificate of adaptations in your home university).
  • Diagnostic report of the medical or psychological problem
