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 of more than 33% (Spanish or foreign). and who consider that they may require psychopedagogical accompaniment, support, adjustments and/or adaptations.
  • 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 educational or academic documentation of adaptations to the PAU or in previous studies.

How to apply for an Accompaniment and Educational Support Plan?

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 and establish the Accompaniment and Educational Support Plan, and, where appropriate, a report of reasonable curricular adaptations according to the studies you are taking.

Bear in mind that the assessment of psychopedagogical follow-up, supports and/or curricular adjustments require management time, for this reason it is important that you request it on the relevant dates.

It is essential to provide at least one of the documents indicated below. Attach all the documentation that allows us to assess your needs.

  • Full certificate of disability (Spanish or international) of a degree equal to or greater than 33%. It must include the resolution and the technical opinion (stating the conditions under which the individual has been assessed), and must be valid at the time of the application for registration in the service.
