Study Comfortably

Accessible

We strive to provide optimal learning environment for students with disabilities. Gradually, we have been eliminating architectural barriers on our campuses. We have been installing the necessary equipment and making improvements that enable students to freely move around our campuses and help them easily use the available infrastructure.

Our Accessibility, Scholarship and Student Events Center is there to meet the needs of persons with disabilities. For example, students can request assistance of professionals, such as sign language interpreters, stenographers, trained assistants, and advisors, and borrow specialized equipment and software that helps them to fully participate in the learning process.
