You can also book an appointment with the team on the AUT App, My AUT or email us disability.office@aut.ac.nz

AUT has shuttle buses that run between the City and South Campuses. Shuttle buses have free wifi and ramps for wheelchair users.
When a fire alarm is activated on campus, AUT students and staff can now opt in for text alerts. It includes the ability to choose the locations, days, times and specific periods during which the user would like to receive text alerts. Users will need to log in using their AUT network login to set this up.
If you require assistance during evacuations, a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan is an important step for those who may need assistance in an emergency evacuation.
People with accessibility needs will be assisted in an evacuation depending on your individual needs. Usually, you'll be accompanied by a staff member who will assist you to get to the stairway podium on the floor, where you can wait for the Fire and Emergency New Zealand crew. For more information, you can visit the AUT safety, security and emergencies page.
