Center for Accessibility Support and Development (CWiRD)

 

As part of our CWiRD activities, we will help you overcome the barriers and difficulties you will encounter in the educational process at our University. The basis of our activities is social inclusion and a friendly atmosphere for every student including those who, due to a chronic illness or disability, will encounter difficulties in the educational process.

The CWiRD team, while respecting your privacy and exercising discretion, will help you solve accessibility problems.

How we can help you:

 

  • Reasonable adjustments to the educational process (abbreviated as RDPK) are available to any UŁa student with a disability who receives the appropriate approval from the dean's authorities of their faculty. Under reasonable adjustments, students can request adaptations in terms of participation in classes and in the organization of exams and credits. The support you may receive under the RDPK will not result in a lowering of academic requirements.
  • Supported by a teaching assistant. UŁa students with disabilities have the opportunity to receive support from a teaching assistant of a person with a disability. A student interested in such assistance independently indicates the person who will perform this role. Preferably, such a person should be a classmate or colleague from the class group or at least a person studying in the same field of study - however, this is not a necessary requirement. In justified cases, the assistant can be a non-student (e.g., a family member).
  • Through, among other things, the loan of a portable induction loop (hearing-impaired students can benefit).
  • Through the use of assistive technologies, which are on the equipment of our Library.

 

Our Accessibility Coordinator provides assistance and support and advice in the areas of accessibility of our University.
