Studying with a disability can require more time or effort. The university provides a variety of services for students with, for instance, chronic illness, dyslexia or visual impairments, or other disabilities. In some cases, it is possible to attend classes online, get extensions on deadlines, or be given alternative assignments.  

The LGBT+ network is the network of all lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer staff and students at Leiden University.

The network provides awareness training courses to assist university staff members in dealing with the problems that affect people from the LGTB+ community. In addition, the network also organises readings, get-togethers, and film evenings.
