Disability Support Services
In addition to the previous key responsibilities, the university also provides physical support for ease of access. This includes:
Car Park: The University provides, where possible, special car parking slots for disabled students and students with special needs in close proximity to the entrance.
Bathrooms: The University provides suitable bathrooms for disabled students and students with special needs.
Entrances: The University provides suitable ramps on entrances as well as railings and elevator services (where appropriate) for disabled students and students with special needs.
Classrooms: Where needed, especially designed seating facilities in classrooms and labs are provided.
Health Clinic: The University ensures that the health clinic is properly staffed and accessible at all times.
Counseling: The University provides counseling services to students with disabilities on a regular basis and strives to meet all learning requirements of the students and ensure that the students feel properly accommodated within university premises.
In addition to physical support, the university also provides academic support to students with disabilities. This includes:
Examination support - including different examination halls, breaks between exams, increasing examination time, note taking, changing time and location, and giving due consideration in case of tardiness or absence.
In-class support - designing classes which can accommodate students with disabilities adequately, note taking, and tutoring.
Learning aids such as visual aids, hearing aids, and assistive devices.
Finally, the university recognizes that students with disabilities may face additional financial burdens and may provide financial support in the form of grants, loans, scholarships, or waiving of certain fees to students with disabilities as a form of assistance. This will be at the sole discretion of the university management.
