Accessibility Feedback
Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a product, device, service or environment is available to all intended audiences. Individuals with disabilities may encounter a variety of physical, technological or attitudinal barriers.
At the University of Windsor, our mission is to create a fully accessible environment for everyone. We do this by providing accessible customer service in the areas of information and communications, facilities and customer service.
If you would like to share with us suggestions for ways to improve accessibility and inclusion or if you would like to share your experience of how inclusion and accessibility at the University of Windsor made a difference, please complete the Accessibility Feedback Form. Identifying information collected by OHREA from the form will be kept confidential except for the purposes of tracking and disseminating to the appropriate unit both for follow-up and/or to share the content of the feedback, both positive and negative.
