UPEI Accessibility Services

"The physical accessibility and culture of inclusion at UPEI provide a great atmosphere for people with disabilities to pursue their post-secondary goals,” says Paul Cudmore, a student who uses a wheelchair and a member of the Access-Ability Committee.

Under the UPEI Plan for Inclusion, all new construction and major upgrading projects, including buildings, parking areas, pedestrian routes, adaptive technology, and other services, will meet or exceed barrier-free and universal guidelines.

Andrew Hall includes two accessible suites and numerous other features to meet the needs of students who have disabilities. Recent campus upgrades include an outdoor ramp and accessible door to Dalton Hall; new barrier-free parking spots; replacement of door knobs with lever handles in high-traffic areas; and the provision of accessible desks in all accessible teaching classrooms.
