Applicants with Disabilities or Specific Needs

Adaptations to the Admissions Process for Applicants with Disabilities or Specific Needs

Applicants may request reasonable adjustments to the admissions process to accommodate individual needs arising from a disability or specific circumstances. The purpose of these adjustments is to ensure equal access to the admissions process, while maintaining academic standards, in accordance with Regulation No. 67/2026 of the Rector of the University of Wrocław.

 

Who can apply?

Adjustments may be requested by applicants who:

• hold a disability certificate or an equivalent document,

• have a chronic medical condition,

• have experienced a sudden illness or accident,

• have a documented health condition or other difficulties that may affect their ability to participate in the admissions process (e.g. an entrance examination or interview).

 

What forms of support are available?

Adjustments are determined individually and may include, in particular:

• a change in the format of an examination or admissions interview,

• additional time for an examination or interview,

• appropriate examination conditions (e.g. a quiet room),

• the use of specialised equipment or support services,

• other adjustments based on the applicant’s demonstrated needs.

A full list of example adjustments is provided in the appendix to Regulation No. 67/2026 of the Rector of the University of Wrocław.

 

Required documents

Applicants must submit:

1. an Application for Adjustment of the Admissions Process (using the official form);

2. a copy of one of the following documents (together with a translation if the document was not issued in English or Polish):

   • a disability certificate or equivalent document, or

   • medical or psychological documentation confirming difficulties affecting participation in the admissions process;

3. any additional documentation supporting the request (if applicable).

Additionally:

• applicants under the age of 18 must provide a consent form and declaration signed by their legal guardians.

 

Important information

• The application must be submitted through the IRC system early enough to allow the adjustment to be implemented during the admissions process (before the admissions procedure has been completed).

• All documents must be complete and up to date.

• Failure to provide missing documents may result in the application not being considered.

• If you are applying for more than one degree programme, you must submit a separate request for each application.

How is the application assessed?

• Requests must be submitted exclusively via the IRC system, through the “Other Documents” section of the applicant’s account.

• The application is reviewed by the Coordinator.

• The completeness and validity of the submitted documentation are verified.

• If documents are missing, the applicant will be asked to provide additional information or documentation.

• The Admissions Committee or the Coordinator may also request further clarification from the applicant.

• A proposal for the appropriate adjustment to the admissions process is then prepared.

• The applicant receives information about the proposed adjustment together with a deadline for acceptance.

• If the applicant does not accept the proposal within the specified deadline, the adjustment will not be implemented.

In justified cases, the application may be consulted with the Support and Accessibility Office.

 

Communication with the applicant

• All communication takes place exclusively through the IRC system.
