The flat terrain and temperate climate of the North Carolina Coastal Plain is particularly well suited to those with mobility limitations and to wheel chair users.

Physical facilities on the UNCW campus are fundamentally accessible. Classroom buildings and all student services buildings are accessible throughout. There exists an on-going effort to remove barriers and increase safety on campus.

Housing Accommodations:

On-campus housing includes modified accommodation for students with disabilities. Residence halls have elevators and are accessible throughout. Student apartments and suites are first floor accessible to students with mobility impairments.

Housing accommodations for students with documented disabilities are determined based on the need for equal opportunity; this determination is not made based on a perceived benefit to the student. Special housing needs should be discussed with the Housing and Residence Life Office well in advance of enrollment. Here is a direct link to their website: http://uncw.edu/housing/
