CAMPUS 02 responds to the individual needs of students, staff and guests with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
We endeavour to find individual solutions in order to offer people with disabilities equal rights and support in all areas.
The buildings of CAMPUS 02 UAS - with the exception of the old building in Zusertal, which is a listed building - are accessible for disabled people. The site has several disabled parking spaces, the buildings are barrier-free and equipped with lifts.
For us, however, the issue of accessibility is not just limited to the spatial infrastructure, but to all areas of CAMPUS 02 UAS:
If the available options do not cover all problem situations, all CAMPUS 02 UAS staff will endeavour to work out individual solutions together.
Please contact us in this regard!
CAMPUS 02 UAS endeavours to accommodate applicants with a disability or chronic illness in the admissions process in the best possible way.
Our Gender & Diversity Management Coordinator can offer you advice on possible special arrangements for the admission procedure (e.g. by adapting the framework conditions) if you are unable to participate in the regular procedure or would be disadvantaged due to your impairment.
Please contact the Gender & Diversity Management Coordinator in advance by phone or e-mail.
Many obstacles can be overcome by informing everyone involved in good time, good preparation, suitable aids and a few special regulations. Inform your head of degree programme about your disability or chronic illness, especially if your impairment is not obvious. This is the only way you can get the support you need! Your details will be treated confidentially.
If you find it difficult to talk to the head of the degree programme about your impairment, you can also contact our Gender & Diversity Management Coordinator and find out about the support options available in your particular case. Anonymous telephone counselling is also possible!
A disability, chronic illness or other impairment can make studying more complicated, as many things require more effort and commitment. However, it is important to us that this does not represent a barrier to successfully completing a degree programme!
We offer counselling on the following topics:
Course materials
At CAMPUS 02 UAS, course materials such as PowerPoint slides and/or scripts are available on the Moodle learning platform. If you wish to make audio or video recordings of courses yourself, you must first ask the lecturer for their permission. We will be happy to inform you about the possibilities of providing study/course documents in an alternative format (e.g. RoboBraille).
Individual examination conditions
We are also happy to inform you about the possibility of individual examination conditions - this means that you perform the same as your fellow students, but in a different way or using a different method.
Examination procedure and laptop
The examination method and framework conditions for the examination are adapted in consultation with the respective degree programme. If you require additional equipment to your own technical equipment, please let us know at the start of your studies/enrolment.
Other individual support in everyday study life
Mobile inductive listening systems
Provision of course notes and transcripts
Copying, scanning
Transport of objects
Support in laboratories
Orientation assistance or accompaniment to desired locations at the UAS and to the library
In the event of danger, such as a fire, you need to react quickly. For students with disabilities, dangerous situations sometimes require special precautions. We hope that you will never be in danger. But if this does happen, we want you to be able to reach competent help quickly.
CAMPUS 02 UAS has therefore drawn up an emergency plan that describes rescue measures for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses in the event of danger.
Students with limited mobility
Students with disabilities can use the lecture theatres at the Zusertal Campus, Körblergasse 126, in the new building. These are the lecture theatres on the ground floor, CZ 001-004, with ground-level access to the outdoor area on the one hand and towards the auditorium or Aulavorplatz on the other. The lecture halls on the first floor of the new building, CZ 102-110, can be reached by lift and have an exit to the outdoor area between lecture halls CZ 106 and CZ 107. Room bookings are made in consultation with the study programme and the Infopoint.
Students with hearing impairments or visual impairments
Organisational measures are taken via the lecturers and the Infopoint. For safety reasons, it is not possible to use the lecture theatres for studying without other people present in the room. Alternatively, the computer workstations in the assembly hall or the student workstations in the library are available. A member of staff is always present in the library during opening hours.
Accessible web means that all information provided online is accessible to all people with disabilities in the same quality. This applies to people with sensory impairments as well as people with mobility impairments who use special output and input software on their PC.
In order to ensure this accessibility, guidelines for accessible web content (WCAG) from the World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) must be taken into account when designing websites or offerings on learning platforms such as Moodle. WCAG 2.0 is based on 4 principles to which the 12 guidelines are assigned. For each guideline, WCAG 2.0 defines success criteria (61 in total) that must be fulfilled. Each success criterion is assigned a priority (A, AA or AAA), which indicates how important the fulfilment of this success criterion is for people with disabilities.
Your feedback is very important to us. To enable you to study without barriers, we are particularly dependent on your feedback!
Your experience gives us the opportunity to continuously improve and eliminate any disadvantages for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses and to anchor solutions in the management mechanisms of our university of applied sciences in the long term. Please get in touch with us. Write us an e-mail or give us a call!
The buildings and lecture theatres at CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences (CAMPUS Zusertal, CAMPUS Rosenhof, WIFI wing) are accessible without steps and barrier-free.
However, there are individual areas in the old building (villa) that are not.
This is because the old building is a listed building and significant alterations, such as the installation of a new external lift, are not permitted.
Specifically, this concerns 4 lecture halls (CZ 128, CZ 129, CZ 138, CZ 233) at the UAS as well as parts of the offices of the central administration and offices of the Financial Accounting & Management Accounting department.
In these cases, however, we will coordinate with you in order to be able to offer you adequate solutions.
For example, no courses are scheduled in the lecture halls mentioned,
if you cannot reach them, or we can move meetings to the barrier-free area of the UAS.
Please contact your respective study program office or the Infopoint directly.
There are 3 elevators (one in the Zusertal building, one in the Rosenhof West wing and one in the CAMPUS area of the WIFI) to reach all floors and the basement. Braille is available in all lifts.
Acoustic floor announcements are made in the Rosenhof and WIFI buildings, and in the elevator in the Zusertal building there is a braille marker 1.10 m high in the door frame to indicate which floor you are on.
Our library team will help you to access the library's services.

CAMPUS 02 UAS strives to offer students with disabilities, chronic illnesses or other impairments a study environment that meets their individual needs.
Although there are currently no separate legal provisions for Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences, CAMPUS 02 UAS responds individually to students with special needs..
International students with special needs should contact the International Office or the International Coordinator of the specific department.
Das Department for Accessibility is committed to the empowerment of students who are hindered in their self-determination by the universities.
CAMPUS 02 UAS strives to offer students with disabilities, chronic illnesses or other impairments a study environment that meets their individual needs.
Students with disabilities or chronic illnesses often have special needs during their studies.
This results in special requirements for our lecturers.
We have therefore put together a guide to provide you with practical assistance in supporting affected students.
We also attach great importance to equal treatment, fairness, tolerance and respectful and honest dealings with one another in the area of human resource management.
