Service Animals
Individuals with disabilities who utilize service animals, as defined by the U.S. Department of Justice, may bring their service animal with them to all areas of the campus where the public is normally allowed to go without requesting permission.
Parking and Transportation Access
Accessible Parking is available to students, staff, and visitors. Preference will be given to students and staff requests that clearly demonstrate a condition or impairment that substantially limits the applicant’s mobility.
Emergency Preparedness
The Office of Emergency Preparedness oversees the emergency preparedness and planning activities for the West Lafayette campus.
Hosting Events on Campus
Planning for accessibility starts before the event even begins. Taking care to create an accessible event benefits not only individuals with apparent disabilities, but also helps ensure that all participants, including individuals with non-apparent disabilities and/or chronic health conditions, and people of all ages and body types, are able to fully engage in the program.
