If you are part of the academic community at the Polytechnic University of Leiria and you need specific support, you have the opportunity to benefit from a range of resources that can assist you in your academic journey.

If you have, whether permanently or temporarily, one or more of the difficulties listed below, you are eligible to apply for Student Status with Special Educational Needs (a.k.a. ENEE) and benefit from learning support measures:

• Physical, visual, auditory or motor disability
• Dyslexia, dysorthography, dyscalculia
• Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum difficulties or any other condition that hinders your learning and daily routines
• Physical or psychological illness that may prevent you from achieving your academic goals

After enrolling in one of the Polytechnic of Leiria’s Higher Education Schools, and if you have any specific needs resulting from a temporary or permanent health condition, please ask for our help.

Every importante information can be consulted in the following portuguese document:

Regulamento dos Estatutos Especiais Aplicáveis aos Estudantes do Politécnico de Leiria (Capítulo 3) | Regulation of Special Statuses Applicable to Students of the Polytechnic of Leiria (Chapter 3)

Now that you have been granted the Student Status with Special Educational Needs (ENEE), the Polytechnic University of Leiria has assembled a team of Case Managers — a group of professionals who will support you throughout your academic journey.

Among other things, your Case Manager will guide and facilitate your connection with the various services at the Polytechnic Unioversity of Leiria, with your course coordination team, assist you in analysing your needs and work with you to develop an intervention plan and identify suitable support measures. Please note, your Case Manager will not be involved in any pedagogical matters.
