USEK is committed to the principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The Access Office (AO) was launched to make the campus more accessible and manageable for students with special needs. By working closely with academic and professional services staff across the University, resources, support, and reasonable adjustments have been put in place.
You can contact the AO at any stage of your studies. However, to ensure the support from the start of your time at USEK, we advise you to contact us as soon as possible.
For general inquiries, you can email us for further information about the types of assistance we provide besides campus accessibility, parking, and assistive technologies for the classroom and studying.
In 2021 the University signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Autism Community (NAC) to understand how to adjust to assist students with special needs. If you need this specific kind of assistance, please contact us.
Mission
Guided by the University’s mission, we strive to build a diverse and inclusive community where students, faculty, staff, and alumni can develop a distinguished ability to adapt, work, learn, and live. Our specialized and dedicated team adopts an individualized approach to empower each student by providing the best resources and facilities to enable them to fulfill their academic potential.
The Access Office promotes accessibility awareness through collaboration with various campus partners. Being student-centered in nature, the office strives to convey a vision for academic success and a goal of developing confident and independent life-long student learners.
Vision
We aim to become a reference program promoting inclusiveness in higher education locally and regionally by building a campus community that is student-centered, supportive, and accessible, in addition to providing a non-discriminatory learning and working environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors with special needs.
