Barrier-Free University
It is an important requirement for the Disabled Student Unit and academic units to be in close communication and cooperation with students with disabilities (visual, physical, hearing, dyslexia, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, diabetes, etc.) in the departments. In this context, there is a "disabled student academic advisor" in each faculty and college in order to provide the necessary support.
