Examples of physical accessibility support
Accommodations for hearing impairments
If you have a hearing impairment, there are several solutions that can make teaching more accessible:
- Use of a microphone in lectures is important to ensure the sound is clear and accessible. Lecturers are expected to use this.
- Auditoriums at UiA are usually equipped with a public address system and microphone. In smaller teaching rooms, portable equipment may be used.
- Sign language interpreters or speech-to-text interpreters are arranged through the NAV Interpretation Service. We recommend contacting them early, as there may be waiting times.
Parking and accessibility on campus
Parking: Students with reduced mobility may require adapted transport and parking arrangements. UiA provides accessible (HC) parking spaces near campus buildings for students with a valid parking permit. Temporary accessible parking is also available.

- Accessibility in buildings: Most UiA buildings are universally designed. To navigate campus, you can use Mazemap, which shows accessible routes to buildings, rooms, and lecture halls.
Getting around on campus
If you have specific accessibility needs, you can contact UiA Accessibility Service for guidance.
Quiet / private study space
If, for health reasons, you require a quiet/private study space, UiA provides access to designated study areas. These spaces may be suitable for students who need peace, reduced stimuli, or a more adapted working environment.
Please contact UiA Accessibility Service for guidance and further information.
