Policy 73
Access & Diversity works with the University to eliminate structural and attitudinal barriers for persons with disabilities. We provide disability-related services to UBC's students, staff, and faculty. The services we provide are in keeping with the University's policy on Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities.
This policy defines persons with a disability as persons who:
- have a significant and persistent mobility, sensory, learning, or other physical or mental health impairment which may be permanent or temporary;
- experience functional restrictions or limitations of their ability to perform the range of life's activities; and
- may experience attitudinal and/or environmental barriers that hamper their full and self-directed participation in life.
