Accessible facilities

IULM is deeply committed to providing accessible facilities for people with disabilities and fostering an inclusive and accessible environment for all members of its community, ensuring that every individual can fully participate in academic and campus life. As outlined in the university’s institutional principles, IULM is dedicated to promoting equal opportunities, combating discrimination, and upholding the highest standards of respect and responsibility.

IULM takes significant measures to support people with disabilities, striving to eliminate any physical, technological, or social barriers that may affect their experience. The campus is equipped with accessible facilities, ensuring that students, staff, faculty and visitors with disabilities can navigate and enjoy the university environment with ease. IULM provides suitable accommodations, including assistive technology, learning support, and tailored examination conditions, to meet the diverse needs of the university community.

In particular, IULM’s DiversaMENTE office is dedicated to integrating and supporting students with disabilities and specific learning disorders (SLD), offering psychological and academic support programs such as peer tutoring, counseling, and diagnostic services through the Euresis Center.

The university is actively and constantly working towards the creation of a barrier-free campus, equipped with infrastructures like accessible entrances, dedicated toilets, lifts, and parking spaces. Mobility orientation courses are available for blind and visually impaired students, and special spaces have been designed for students in wheelchairs - both in classrooms and in the library - along with specially equipped accommodations. Inside the IULM Residence there are 4 units reserved for the disabled with internet connection and satellite TV: wardrobe, desk, en-suite bathroom and centralised air conditioning.

Furthermore, the IULM Equal Opportunities Committee plays a crucial role in reinforcing the university’s commitment to inclusivity by representing the interests of all students and staff. The committee promotes equal treatment and actively counters discrimination based on disability, gender identity, ethnicity, and other factors.

To highlight the impact of these efforts, IULM is proud to share a testimony from one of the university’s students who uses a wheelchair, showcasing their positive experience at IULM and in particular the provision of accessible facilities for people with disabilities (Link to the video).

This comprehensive approach ensures that IULM is a welcoming and accessible university for all, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to inclusion and support for individuals with disabilities.
