CUT is committed to fostering an inclusive academic and social environment through a comprehensive strategy that outlines reasonable adjustments and support provisions for people with disabilities. CUT prioritises accessibility across its campuses in Limassol and Paphos, ensuring that facilities are equipped with ramps, elevators featuring raised numerals and braille signage, inclusive classrooms, accessible restrooms, and dedicated parking spaces. Adapted accommodations are also available in-residence halls for students with physical disabilities.
As part of its commitment to equitable access, CUT offers subsidised on-campus accommodation for students with disabilities, covering approximately 50% of housing costs to enhance both affordability and accessibility.
Through the Center of Student Development, the university delivers tailored support services, including traffic attendants, text enlargement and translation, transcription for exams, provision of special equipment, practical accommodations during lectures and exams, and personalised academic tutoring. These services are adjusted to the individual needs and conditions of each student.
CUT’s commitment is further articulated through the Equal Access Plan for Persons with Disabilities and Persons with Special Educational Needs, which provides a strategic framework for ensuring equal participation, adequate support, and inclusive infrastructure, backed by the necessary institutional resources and funding.
