Study and examination arrangements

Are you a student or future student with a disability?
Good news: in higher education, the implementation of study and examination accommodations has been simplified.

The Cellule d'Accueil et d'Accompagnement des Etudiants en Situation de Handicap (C2AESH) is dedicated to providing individualized support for all students with special needs in their studies at academics .

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM STUDY AND EXAM ACCOMMODATIONS?

All disability situations can be examined.

*Reminders

A disability, as defined by the 2005 law, is any limitation of activity or restriction of participation in society experienced by a person in his or her environment due to a substantial, lasting or definitive impairment of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive or psychological functions, a multiple handicap or a disabling health condition.

C2AESH can help you make temporary accommodations for a maximum of one month if you apply at least 3 weeks in advance for exam accommodations.

HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR ACCOMMODATION?

Before registering at USMB

To begin with, when you make your choices on the ParcourSup application during your final year of high school, or during your university studies, we invite you to get in touch with C2AESH , who will guide you through the process, depending on your needs, and can arrange a visit to one of our campuses (Annecy-le-Vieux, Bourget-du-Lac or Jacob-Bellecombette).

As soon as you register with the USMB

Then, as soon as you have registered with the school (payment of university fees and issue of your student card), you can contact the Student Health Service or the Cellule d'Accueil et d'Accompagnement des Étudiants en Situation de Handicap.

ATTENTION, deadlines have been set to enable exam accommodations to be made. You must therefore have met with the HSE doctor (date of appointment as proof):
- No later than November 15, 2024 for the 1st semester of the 2024-2025 academic year
- No later than March 21, 2025 for the 2nd semester of the 2024-2025 academic year

Le Service Santé Étudiants - Contact details of SSE secretariats

You will be interviewed by an SSE doctor who, after studying your medical file, will assess your needs and draw up a plan recommending accommodations for your studies and examinations. These accommodations may facilitate your studies at the university.

ATTENTION: if you need accommodations for studies and/or exams, the expertise of an HSE doctor is essential.

For information: SSE doctors are authorized by the Commission des Droits à l'Autonomie des Personnes Handicapée (CDAPH) of the Maison Départementale des Personnes Handicapées (MDPH).
