Norsk »THE CAMPUS FACILITIES
The aim is to ensure access for everybody to all campus facilities. Some of the older buildings have so far not been sufficiently prepared for people with physical disabilities. If you need special accommodation of physical conveniences it is important that you contact us early because possible adaptations may take time.
Access
Buses from Stavanger, Sandnes and Sola pass through campus.
The university has installed automatic door openers at most entrances.
Class rooms
The following class rooms and auditoriums are provided with induction loops and IR (infrared audio transmission) applications for those with impaired hearing.
- Arne Rettedals hus: All auditoriums.

* IR systems are installed. Headsets are needed in order to use the system. These can be loaned in Kjølv Egeland's Hus at the student office of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Reading rooms
The reading rooms on campus are open to everybody on the principle of first come - first served. If you clearly need a reservation for a desk in a reading room you must contact the person responsible for students with disabilities.
Accommodation
The Student Union (Studentsamskipnaden i Stavanger [SiS]) rents out rooms and apartments close to the campus. Some accommodation units have been adapted for persons with physical disabilities. In order to obtain such a unit you must contact the International Office as early as possible.
PEDAGOGICAL ADJUSTMENTS
The study programs at UiS will vary according to different forms of instruction and examinations. Some programs have obligatory practice periods. Notice that it may not be possible to offer alternative practice or instruction in all subjects. The contacts at each faculty will give information about possibilities and limitations in the different programs.
The learning situation
The contact persons for students with disabilities can help new students in their relations to members of faculty if that is desirable. This may include better accommodation for attending lectures or if the student has an ailment that the instructor should be aware of. We have some written information which may be helpful in this respect.
Lending of equipment at the UiS
The university can make some electronic equipment available to students with documented needs. These aids are mainly dictation machines and Daisy players. In special cases equipment may be purchased for the user.
