Mobility made easy

We have wheelchairs and crutches for students to use. Ramps are made available on the main walkways. Lifts are installed on all floors, and car parking spaces for individuals with a disability are available at the main entrances.

Dedicated parking space

The University reserves ample parking space for people with disability which can also be used by their caregivers if they choose to bring any. Staff and students who have disabilities are able to park at designated parking lots that are close to the campus entrance.

Making library resources accessible to people with disabilities

Aside from providing a conducive library infrastructure, the University also provides extension of loan periods on selected library materials and resources.

Assistive equipment and braille

Technologies are helping blind people improve their learning and their quality of life. Various types of assistive equipment and braille materials are available at Sunway University for staff and students who are visually impaired.

Facilitating education journey

Besides physical infrastructure, the University also eases the education journey for students with disabilities by:

• providing extra time for examinations
• allowing use of word processor during examinations
• using of larger font size on exam papers
• making available a reader to read questions during the examination
• providing text-to-speech devices
• and more...

Implementing better pastoral support 

The University offers pastoral care services to aid students in their emotional and psychological well-being as well as assist them in:

• making the transition to the University
• liaising with the school or department about any impact that students' condition has on the study element of the course
• giving recommendations and referrals of a student for adjustments to examinations and assessments
• offering information, advice, guidance, and practical support in areas of disabilities to students, parents, schools, and other relevant stakeholders

Washrooms for people with disabilities

The washrooms are specially designed to better accommodate people with physical disabilities or with reduced mobility. For example, the higher toilet bowl, makes it easier for people with reduced mobility to hang on and subsequently stand up. 

Facilitating the process for students

It would be helpful that students come forward and provide information about any disability or health condition at the application stage so that the University could ensure everything is in place and that the students will have the best and the most conducive environment to focus on their studies and have a quality campus lifestyle.
