What are the alternatives for students with a specific assistance request or functional limitation?

Students may require specific accommodations based on individual needs or functional limitations to succeed in their studies. Hogeschooltaal offers a variety of options for students with disabilities, such as dyslexia or chronic illnesses:

1. Extended Exam Time
   Students may receive additional time for tests. When scheduling a test, you can request extra time in step 3. A standard extension of 20 minutes is applied to all Hogeschooltaal tests. For more details on requesting an exam, please refer to the article 'How do I schedule a test myself?'

2. Enlarged Screen
   Each test can be displayed with enlarged text. This can be adjusted manually in the browser settings.

3. Text-to-Speech Program
   For students with disabilities, tests can be read aloud using our own text-to-speech program. For more information, please refer to 'Is Hogeschooltaal suitable for visually impaired students?'

4. Verb Spelling Algorithm Card
   Students with documented learning disabilities or dyslexia are allowed to use the "Algortimekaart" during official exams. These students are still eligible for a Hogeschooltaal certificate.

5. Adjusted norm
   You can apply a modified norm. Our default norm is 80%, but a lower norm can be used for students with disabilities. A separate test must be scheduled for these students. In step 4 of test scheduling, select 'adjust norm' and enter the desired value. This applies to both verb werkwoordspelling and the overall result. Please note: Only students meeting the 80% norm will be eligible for a certificate.

6. Extra Test Session
   An additional formative test session can be arranged for students needing extra support. This session, supervised by a teacher or coach, allows the student to familiarize themselves with the test process and content. Afterward, the test can be reviewed with the student.

7. Tests via ProctorExam
   During a test with ProctorExam, students are generally not allowed to leave the room, eat, or use pen and paper. However, if a student requires such accommodations for medical reasons, please inform us. We will take this into account when reviewing and sharing the test footage.

If you feel that a specific accommodation is missing or have any questions about available options, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to assist you.
