Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities.
Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects.

Learning assessment is achieved through a single exam covering all course subjects. The test consists of 54 multiple-choice questions, of which only one is correct, and three open-ended questions, structured as case studies in which students will apply their acquired knowledge. The three open-ended questions will focus on one case study from Therapeutic Education, one from Family and Community Nursing, and one from Mental Health Nursing. To evaluate the open-ended questions, instructors have specific grading grids available that take into account the data collected, objectives, interventions, strategies, and the final evaluation of the case study. Correct multiple-choice questions are worth 1 point; open-ended questions can earn a maximum of 10 points per question. A maximum total score of 84 points is awarded. A student passes the test if they obtain 60% of the total score and at least 30% of the individual subjects. Students have 105 minutes to complete the test. The test is administered in person on an online platform.
