Reading disabled students


The loan period for textbooks can be extended if you can prove that you have a reading disability. The information on the extended loan period is registered on approval by the student. Your loan period for textbooks will be 3 weeks. 


Make an appointment with the loans coordinator at your library unit. If you have a dyslexia assessment, bring it to the meeting. You can also bring a recommendation for special arrangements in your studies from your university or university of applied sciences.

Talking books and e-textbooks: Celia produces and lends works of fiction and non-fiction in the form of talking books, Braille and/or e-books to print. Service is for disabled users, free of charge.
