Students with Special Educational Needs (SAS/GNEE)

Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Iscte promotes and upholds a set of ethical values, including diversity, freedom, equal opportunities, and the quality of life and working environment of all students.

Guided by these values and committed to an inclusive policy, the Student Counselling Service (SAS/GAA) has established a dedicated support service for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring that every effort is made to support their full integration into university life.

This service aims to provide tailored support to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), facilitating their integration into academic life and helping them access the support services available within the institution.

Responsibilities
  • Welcome students with Special Educational Needs.
  • Process and assess applications for special status under Chapter VI of the Regulations for Students with Special Status.
  • Provide information, guidance and support to students with SEN and their lecturers.
  • Provide information on the types of support and services available within the institution.
  • Coordinate the support required for each individual case with other internal and/or external services, as well as with the Specialised Committee of the Pedagogical Council (CECP).

The Iscte campus offers a range of inclusive facilities and initiatives, including:

  • Accessible buildings.
  • TeleAula – a distance learning system developed in partnership with the PT Foundation.
  • A Multimedia and Special Educational Needs Room within the Information and Documentation Services (Library).
  • Adapted learning spaces.
  • Adapted teaching and learning materials.
  • Training workshops organised by the Information and Documentation Services.
  • Conferences and workshops dedicated to inclusion.

Further information is available on the website under "Mobility Step-by-Step", in the sections "Scholarship Amounts" and "Is there any support available for students with financial or special educational needs?". Any enquiries should be sent to outgoing.iro@iscte.iul.pt.

Students with Specific Educational Needs (SEN) who wish to benefit from support measures must indicate this need in Fénix+ at the time of enrolment.

It is advisable that anyone intending to apply to Iscte contacts the Office as early as possible to ensure a more timely and effective response. Applicants are also encouraged to familiarise themselves in advance with the courses available and the support and admission arrangements for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Scholarships for Students with Disabilities
