Reasonable accommodations
It is recognised that relative to other students, students with impairments may be disadvantaged in their educational opportunities in terms of access to the course of their choice and/or realisation of their full potential in the course to which they are admitted. AUT is committed to taking what measures it practicably can to minimise how a student’s impairment may adversely affect their educational opportunities. The need to maintain academic and other prescribed standards has to be maintained whilst at the same time identifying what accommodations a student may reasonably expect.
Examples of ‘reasonable accommodations’ are:
Examples of ‘reasonable accommodations’ are:
- Supplying additional training or support
- Acquiring or modifying equipment
- Modifying instructions, communication processes or information manuals
- Modifying procedures for assessments and examinations

- Regular contact to discuss support needs
- Arranging an assessment to make appropriate course adjustments
- Electronically returning comments about an essay to a student with vision impairments
- Altering work placements or making specific field trip arrangements for students with mobility impairments
- Allowing a Deaf student to present their work using New Zealand Sign Language
- Use of a computer for examination, rather than a reader/writer, for someone with a physical impairment
