Accessibility Guidelines

The University Grants Commission (UGC) introduced Accessibility Guidelines and Standards for Higher Education Institutions and Universities to ensure inclusive and accessible environments for students with disabilities. These guidelines mandate institutions to create accessibility frameworks from admission to course completion, ensuring barrier-free participation for all. The guidelines also address equitable access to curriculum, accessible library resources, and universal design for learning.

Key aspects of the UGC Accessibility Guidelines and Standards:

Inclusive Environment:

The guidelines aim to create a disability-inclusive environment for students with special needs, from the admission process to the award of marks.

Accessible Curriculum:

The guidelines emphasize equitable access to curriculum, flexible and adaptable teaching methods, and the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to create an equitable classroom.

Accessible Library Resources:

Libraries should provide accessible resources and formats to ensure equitable access for all students.

Accessibility Audit:

An accessibility audit tool is being developed to assess the performance of HEIs in implementing the guidelines.

Support for HEIs:

UGC is committed to supporting HEIs in implementing the guidelines and ensuring that students with disabilities can participate in academic programs. Anwarul Uloom College of Business Management is committed to ensuring a barrier free and inclusive environment for students, staff and visitors with disabilities and special needs.
