What is the Student Accessibility Office?

Kyoto University of Advanced Science provides a variety of individualized support options for disabled students so that they can lead a better life on campus. The Student Accessibility Office with Disabilities provides support for students who have difficulties in attending lectures and practical training, mainly by providing reasonable accommodations in cooperation and consultation with the Health Office, Student Counseling Office, and other related departments such as faculty members.

The term "disability" as used herein refers to persons with a physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, mental disabilities, or other impairment of mental or physical functions that continuously cause substantial limitations in daily or social life due to physical and social barriers.

"Reasonable accommodations" are individualized adjustments or modifications that allow people with disabilities to learn equally with people without disabilities.
