Accessibility at UNG

Welcome to the University of North Georgia's (UNG) source for accessibility information with a single point of access to pertinent guidance regarding resources across UNG. 

Accessibility acknowledges the intersectional identities, experiences, and needs of our whole campus community, which is consistent with UNG's Vision, Mission, and Values.

It extends beyond the requirements for legally required accommodations for faculty, staff, and students. Everyone can bring their complete selves to campus and have the chance to flourish when there is accessibility.

Note: If there is concern about imminent danger or experiencing a critical issue, contact Public Safety or call 706-864-1500

Accessible Technology

It is the policy of the University of North Georgia (UNG) to make electronic and information technology resources accessible to all UNG students, faculty, staff, and the general public, regardless of disability. Creating and maintaining accessible technology is an ongoing UNG responsibility and priority.

According to the Office of Civil Rights: Accessible means a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability in an equally effective and equally integrated manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use. A person with a disability must be able to obtain the information as fully, equally, and independently as a person without a disability. Although this might not result in identical ease of use compared to that of persons without disabilities, it still must ensure equal opportunity to the educational benefits and opportunities afforded by the technology and equal treatment in the use of such technology.
