Legal Framework | Service Center for Barrier-Free Study
[...] Niemand darf wegen seiner Behinderung benachteiligt werden. (Art. 3 Abs. 3 GG)
[...] nobody can be discriminated against because of a disability. (Art. 3 Paragraph 3 GG - German Basic Law)
"Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others." ( Art. 1 UN-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities)
The guiding principle of Article 3 GG is found in the Landesgesetz zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen (§2 Abs. 3) (State law for equality for people with disabilities), in the Hochschulrahmengesetz (§2 Abs. 4) (College Framework Law) and in the Hochschulgesetz Rheinland-Pfalz (§2 Abs. 4) (College Law of Rheinland-Pfalz).
The following aspects are clearly defined in the Hochschulgesetz Rheinland-Pfalz:
Universities have to ensure, that students with disabilities can study equally to students without disabilities, that studies and activities are accessible and can be attended as independently as possible.
(4) Hochschulen [...] tragen dafür Sorge, dass Studierende mit Behinderungen gleichberechtigt am Studium teilhaben und die Angebote der Hochschule möglichst selbständig und barrierefrei im Sinne des § 2 Abs. 3 des Landesgesetzes zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen nutzen können. [...]
Examination regulations must accommodate for the special interests of students with disabilities to protect the equality of studies. These interests must also be accommodated for with deadlines insofar as the interruption of studies is due to disability, sickness or other reasons that aren't the students responsibility.
§ 26 Ordnungen von Hochschulprüfungen
(5) [...] Für die Einhaltung von Fristen werden Verlängerungen und Unterbrechungen von Studienzeiten nicht berücksichtigt, soweit sie bedingt waren [...] (2.) durch Krankheit, eine Behinderung oder andere von den Studierenden nicht zu vertretende Gründe. [...]
