Campus Accessibility

All buildings and classrooms are physically accessible. Students who require accessible furniture in classrooms should contact the Office of Disability Services.

Handicapped Parking (staff, faculty and students)
Those with a Pennsylvania (or other state) vehicle registration plate or placard or Severely Disabled Veteran registrations are the only persons permitted to park in handicap parking spaces.

For temporary disabling conditions, apply for a temporary placard from the state in which you reside. The Wellness Coordinator in the Student Center, Room 1180 has the Pennsylvania forms available and will assist you in filing them with the state. If you have a temporary-disabling condition not covered under Pennsylvania State vehicle statutes, apply for temporary medical parking with the staff in the Student Center, Room 1180.

A handicap permit authorizes parking in any designated (i.e., lined) space, when there are no spaces available in the handicap parking area.
