Every individual in society may experience disability at some point in life. From this perspective, we are committed to being sensitive to all individuals with differences or disabilities and to providing every possible form of support.

Our University regards individuals with disabilities as a natural and equal part of social life. Recognizing that any person may experience disability at some point in life, we adopt an inclusive approach to education, social life, and the campus experience. Accordingly, our values are as follows:

Equality: We uphold equal access for all students to rights, opportunities, and University facilities.

Accessibility: We regard the development of accessible solutions in all physical, digital, and academic environments as a fundamental responsibility.

Respect: We show unconditional respect for individual differences, needs, and experiences.

Inclusivity: We support the active participation of every student in educational, social, and cultural activities.

Empathy and Sensitivity: We seek to understand the challenges experienced by our students and foster a supportive University environment.

Participation and Solidarity: We value the participation of students with disabilities in decision-making processes and encourage collaborative solutions.

Continuous Improvement: We continuously improve our disability-friendly practices in line with current needs and feedback.

According to our Department’s records, there are no students with special needs who declared such a condition or requested support in this regard during the Fall Semester of the 2025–2026 Academic Year.

Department Representatives for Students with Disabilities contribute to ensuring that all students, with and without disabilities, receive the support they need in academic and social processes.
