Physical barrier to access
If you or someone you know encounters a physical barrier that is preventing equal access to a University building or area, please report it to us. Physical barriers are conditions in any structural environment that prevent or impede an individual with a disability from efficiently navigating the setting.
Barriers to access can include:
- Non-functioning door openers
- Non-functioning elevators
- Damaged curb cuts
- Issues with accessible restrooms
- Weather related issues such as snow-blocked paths
To report physical barriers on any UW campus (Seattle, Bothell or Tacoma), complete the form using the link above or contact UW Facilities Customer Care. Once reported, the UW Facilities Customer Care Team will contact the appropriate University resources at the specific campus to inform them of the report. This will initiate the process and the University’s trained professionals will address your individual needs based on each set of circumstances.
IT barrier to access
If you experience a barrier that affects your ability to access UW websites, videos, online forms, or other informational terchnology, email UW-IT help@uw.edu with a detailed explanation of the issue.
Once reported, your issue will be assigned to the appropriate team to address it. You will be able to track your issue’s progress in the online ticketing system.
