At the University of Southern Maine creating access is a community responsibility. As a community, we strive to ensure our campus experiences and facilities, including buildings, parking areas, events, classroom experiences, policies, etc. are accessible and free of barriers.
- Are you experiencing or have you seen a barrier on campus? Please let us know so that we can work to resolve the issues through reasonable means of access and accommodation.
- Barriers may include but are not limited to: a broken door activator or automated door; objects blocking access areas; inaccessible events; attitudes or lack of understanding that impose barriers and exclusion.
- Alternatively, have you experienced or seen a bridge on campus that demonstrates openness and understanding of accessibility? We want to know about all of the great access opportunities and moments happening on campus.
- Bridges may include but are not limited to: a faculty, staff, or student who has removed barriers in their courses; a faculty, staff, or student who thinks beyond the way things have always been done to consider new ways that include others; attitudes, openness, and understanding that promote access and inclusion.
We will take your report seriously and will do our best to resolve through reasonable means of access and accommodation. We will take this information and notify those who can resolve the matter, contact the person or get involved directly as needed, or contact you if any more questions remain. We cannot promise that every situation will be corrected in an ideal manner or that any action can be taken.
