Campus Consultations on Disabled Access
Each year, Physical Resources and Student Support team up to review disabled access for students to each of our campuses. Last year, as you can see from the list below, a number of improvements were identified and will be in place soon.
We invite you to start the ball rolling on this year’s consultation, by letting us know of any issues which you feel need to be addressed in order that we can try to make each campus is as accessible as possible.
With buildings as large and diverse as our own, it is not a simple task to ensure easy access to all areas. We are continuing to work towards that goal and the information which you can provide from your own experience is vital in making progress.
Please give details of the improvement you would like to recommend please click here to complete the feedback form and send your reply to Jan Elliott by email at ja.elliott@ulster.ac.uk. Feedback forms must be completed by 25th May 2009.
