Instituto Superior Técnico supports students with special educational needs, as a result of their temporary or prolonged health status, and that are covered by the Regulation of Student Support with Special Educational Needs (in portuguese).

Process for Requesting Status:

To be covered by the provisions of this Regulation, you must go in person to the Graduate Area to initiate the process. The recognition of the status of “Student with Educational Needs” is annual, and students can submit their support request at any time during the academic year.

Support Application Process:

Throughout the school year, students with the status of “Student with Special Educational Needs” should contact the Graduate Area whenever they wish to request support in the evaluation process.

Students with temporary or prolonged health conditions, that prevent them from performing their written examinations autonomously, may also require support. This assistance service is provided, whenever possible, by one of NAPE’s Student Staff, in agreement with the Professor responsible for the written examination.
