How do you go about getting your disability recognized?

You need to contact the Student Health Service (formerly SIMPPS) to make an appointment with a doctor. During this appointment, you will be asked for your medical file.

This appointment with the SSE doctor should be made as early as possible in the academic year, so that accommodations can be taken into account as of the first continuous assessment evaluations. A calendar sets out the deadlines for this appointment:

• No later than November 14, 2025, for developments to begin in the 1st half of the year;
• By March 13, 2026, for accommodations to begin in the 2nd semester;
• May 13, 2026, at the latest, for accommodations to begin for Second Chance SED.

Recommendations will be drawn up by the HSE doctor and then translated into a decree, the official document formalizing the accommodations for assessments. Accommodations are valid for the academic year or for the entire training cycle, depending on the disability.

What are the possible layouts?

The improvements may concern:

• Studies: human aids, technical aids such as adaptation of documents, adaptation of the curriculum over two years…
• Examinations: extra time, special study arrangements, computer composition, etc.
• Student life: queuing card, rest rooms, etc.

Guide for students with disabilities

Students wishing to reconcile their practice of high-level sport with the pursuit of higher education can subscribe to a dedicated status. This is a contract between the university and the student allowing access to certain conditions in response to absences justified by competitions or official training courses:
curriculum adjustments (ESBNN /ESHN)
free distance learning (via the distance learning service)
remedial courses and exam postponements (ESBNN /ESHN)

These arrangements are put in place with the help of an academic tutor specific to each course of study, and make it easier for students with a good level of academic (ESBNR), national (ESBNN) or international (ESHN) sporting achievement to pursue their studies at university.

To benefit from this contract, students must submit an application to the university sports and physical activity department (Suaps in french) and indicate this when finalizing their registration (see Enrollment, switching courses). Although automatically validated, if the student is registered on the ministerial lists, the status is granted only after the application has been studied by a commission.

The Université Toulouse – Jean Jaurès supports and assists students and recent graduates who wish to develop a business start-up project, whatever their background or specialization. It is involved in a number of schemes, including the Pepite (student cluster for innovation, transfer and entrepreneurship) of the Toulouse University.

This gives access to:
national student-entrepreneur status (SNEE in french),
the university diploma for student entrepreneurs (D2E in french)

Prior to the event, UT2J offers awareness-raising activities for all university students and recent graduates, on the Mirail, Figeac, Foix, Montauban and Blagnac campuses:
individual meetings with UT2J referral agents
meetings and presentations by outside professionals and project leaders
competitions to test their business creation project
