Resources for physically impaired students
AUT has three large campuses (City, North Shore and Manukau). At Disability Student Support, we are committed to providing physical access to all teaching areas. We can advise you regarding your needs, including parking, identifying problem areas, and seeking solutions.
If you want to park your car on campus, there are designated spaces that are available for mobility cardholders. Please display your mobility card at all times and give your car registration details to the main Reception on your first day.
Most buildings are wheelchair accessible by ramp or lift, and have an accessible toilet close by. As soon as you know the location of your classes, please contact us for more detailed information and maps.
Most lifts have doors “opening/closing” and floor voice announcements. Support and guide dogs, trained and supplied by a registered disability provider, are welcome on campus.
Support is designed to maximise your capacity to become an independent learner whilst studying at the University. Remember that the key to successful study is to plan ahead, check out the environment and resources, ask for assistance and do so at the earliest opportunity.
