The Programme on Universal Accessibility works for the achievement of a more accessible university, through the elimination of barriers of challenges within the UV. It refers to three scopes: physical access, electronic access and communication barriers.

Physical Accessibility

Images are collected and complaints processed both on the physical barriers and obstacles of the UV and those coming from the university community (students with disabilities, PDI- teaching and research staff and PAS- Administrative and Service Staff).

After verifying the barriers, Accessibility reports are written and sent to the Technical Unit or the Technic and Maintenance Service of the UV.

Electronic Accessibility

Due to the net’s increasing importance within the university scope, from the UPD and in collaboration with the office of the Vice Principal for ICT and the Information systems service of the UV, carry out the necessary measures so that the web service can be accessible to the whole population. 

Communication barriers

In collaboration with the Valencian Community Federation of the Deaf (Fesord C.V.) the service of interpreters of sign languages is provided for classes, tutorials or sessions requested by students with deafness.
Likewise, in order to sit in an exam, a Technician of the service proceds to the interpretation of the questions in Sign Language, allowing the students to answer on their language. In this case, a video is recorded with the answer as well as their literal transcription, which will be handed to the teacher for its assessment.
