Report an accessibility barrier

All members of the UVic community (including campus visitors) can report accessibility barriers or feedback about the Accessibility Plan using this form. An accessibility barrier is anything that restricts or challenges someone's ability to learn or work at UVic. This can include access to services, information or buildings on campus.

Reporting accessibility barriers helps us understand and prioritize the needs of the UVic community. You don't have to be personally impacted by a barrier to submit a report. You can provide contact information if you want progress updates on your barrier report or you can submit anonymously. We may also reach out for additional information if necessary to resolve a barrier.

To report an emergency, call 9-1-1 first, then contact Campus Security at 250-721-7599.
