Accessibility at UNBC

At the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all members of our community as accessibility is a key aspect of our commitment to equity and inclusion. We also believe in the transformative influence of inclusive education that reaches out to everyone who aspires to learn, teach, and contribute.

The Accessible British Columbia Act presents us with a valuable opportunity to conduct an assessment and strengthen accessibility initiatives across the University. Through collaborative efforts, we are READY to advance UNBC towards a future where our campuses are not only more inclusive but also more accessible.
