Support Process for Students with Disabilities
②Ensuring Access to Academic and Employment Opportunities
To promote reasonable accommodation — including information access and communication support in academic and work settings, priority seating in classrooms, and secured access routes — we coordinate accommodation requests to course instructors and provide information on teaching materials and assistive devices.
③Collaboration within and beyond the University
We disseminate information to prospective students with disabilities through university joint information sessions and open campus events, advancing high school–university collaboration. We also collaborate with specialized institutions in the fields of medicine, welfare, education, and industry, and engage in community collaboration and contribution. In addition, we work in coordination with relevant offices within the university.
④Barrier-Free Campus Facilities
We work to develop barrier-free maps and improve on-campus facilities.
