The Support Unit for Students with Disabilities (DISUIMP in Spanish) makes sure that measures are taken to cater for those students with special needs.
Students can apply in 2 ways:
- By ticking the box "I would like to apply for disability support" on the general enrolment form (Forms), or
- By sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The UIMP’s Student Administration Office will inform both the support unit and the RAED by email of the enrolment of a student with special needs because of a disability.
The RAED will contact the student to find out in person what their needs are and to acquire the relevant technical or medical report.
Rulings on applications
Generally speaking, the RAEDs will propose the specific measures needed to support students with disabilities to the Academic Commission for their consideration.
The Commission will, in turn, put these proposals to the Vice-Rector of Postgraduate Studies and Research at the UIMP for their consideration. If the application is granted, the Vice-Rector's office will inform the General Secretary’s office.
Throughout the student’s stay at the university, the RAEDs should keep up-to-date on the measures in place and should see to it that they are enforced.
If necessary, they will meet periodically with the disabled student.
Make-up of the support unit DISUIMP
The members of the support unit are appointed by the University Board for a period of four years.
