Guidelines for receiving accommodations due to medical disabilities for newly accepted students


Newly accepted students can fill in a "Request Form for Accommodations due to Medical Disability" and attach medical documentation that include relevant medical history form specialist doctors only.

 

 

How and when to submit the application?


The application should be submitted via the Candidate Information Station, selecting ‘Accommodations and Accessibility due to Medical Disabilities’ in the Accommodations Menu.
The application should be submitted no later than the first day of the semester.

 

 

Students with disabilities that are not learning disabilities and/or ADD:


Should at the same time fill in an application for accommodations due to learning disabilities – select ‘Learning disabilities, accommodations’ under the Accommodations Menu in the Candidate Information Station. The application should be submitted no later than the first day of the first semester.

 

 

Late applications:

Students who submitted the application for accommodations after the first day of the semester, can send their request by entering MY RU at the Reichman University website, select "Accessibility" icon. The request (including an appeal) will be processed according to the university's constraints.

 

 

Exceptions:

  1. Late acceptance students, that is, students who were accepted during the month before the first day of the first semester.
  2. Students with exceptional cases as those are defined in the Academic Regulations.
  3. Students with a temporary medical disability that do not have medical history.

 

A committee for accommodations due to medical disabilities will convene one month after the beginning of the semester and, if necessary, the committee will convene again during the last month of the semester.

In the above exceptional cases only, and for the purpose of discussion by the exceptions committee, the student will have to fill in a ‘request for accommodations’ in the Student Information Center.

 

 

Students granted provisional accommodations (for preparatory program or sorting courses):


Must fill in a ‘Request Form for Accommodations due to Medical Disability’ as explained on this page, so they can be granted accommodations also for the duration of their studies.
