For several years, numerous activities have been undertaken at our University to adapt it to the needs of people with disabilities and to equalize their educational opportunities.

These activities include, among many others:

•   regulatory changes,
•   financial support (dedicated scholarships),
•   assistance of the Rector's Representative for Accessibility and Disability in solving individual problems,
•   purchase of specialized equipment and software to facilitate education for people with various health conditions,
•   removal of architectural barriers,
•   participation in conferences, workshops and courses on topics that address the problems and issues of people with disabilities.

Adaptation of buildings to the needs of people with disabilities

The matter of adapting our university buildings to the needs of people with disabilities is not yet fully resolved. Some of the buildings are already properly adjusted, others only partially, while still others are completely inaccessible to people with mobility impairments. The best adapted building is building A located at ul. Bogucicka 3. Despite some imperfections, it is fully accessible to people with mobility impairments.

Results of the work done so far include such features as:

•    automatically opening front doors,
•    modernized elevator,
•    adaptation of toilets to suit the needs of people with disabilities.

However, work is still underway to facilitate accessibility and adapt the remaining buildings of our University to better support students with disabilities.
