Disability Access Across Campus
Syracuse University is committed to making campus fully accessible to all staff, faculty and students, with and without disabilities.
Campus Navigation
The university’s interactive campus map identifies accessible restrooms and generates an accessible route between two locations on campus.
Access ‘Cuse provides individuals with chronic health, sensory and permanent mobility disabilities with point-to-point transportation services. Eligibility for Access ‘Cuse usage is determined by the Center for Disability Resources for students and by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion’s Disability Access team for staff and faculty.
