SWU is committed to providing inclusive, accessible, and disability-friendly campuses by ensuring that physical infrastructure, transportation, and learning environments can be safely and conveniently used by students, staff, and visitors with disabilities. The Physical Development Office and the Disability Support Services (DSS) work together to provide accessible facilities such as reserved parking spaces, ramps, handrails, accessible restrooms, Braille signage, and barrier-free pathways across campus.(sdg.swu.ac.th)
International symbol of access marked in parking spaces reserved for vehicles.
SWU provides reserved parking spaces for persons with disabilities at key locations on campus. These spaces are clearly designated with the international symbol of access, ensuring that drivers with disabilities or mobility impairments can park close to buildings, ramps, and accessible entrances. This measure promotes equal access to academic and administrative facilities and reinforces the University’s commitment to inclusive campus design.

Sloped paths to facilitate access to different levels of space.
To reduce physical barriers on campus, SWU has installed sloped paths and ramps that connect different levels of buildings and outdoor spaces. These ramps are designed to support wheelchair users, people using walking aids, and individuals with temporary mobility limitations. Together with handrails and accessible pathways, these sloped routes enable safer movement across the campus and improve independent access to classrooms, offices, and common areas.(sdg.swu.ac.th)

Accessibility in campus transportation systems.
SWU supports accessibility in campus transportation by providing services and arrangements that consider the needs of students and staff with disabilities. Campus transport and vehicle access are managed to allow pick-up and drop-off near accessible entrances, ramps, and key facilities, helping those with mobility challenges to move between buildings more comfortably. Communication through social media and announcements is used to inform the community about available transport options and support measures for persons with disabilities.

Any other innovative disability accessibility measures implemented (please specify).
SWU also promotes innovative accessibility solutions that support learners with disabilities, particularly those with hearing impairments. For example, the University has showcased and supported educational innovations such as “C108 นวัตกรรมส่งเสริมการเรียนรู้เพื่อช่วยคุณฟูสมรรถภาพการสื่อสารสำหรับผู้มีอาการบกพร่องทางการได้ยิน”—a learning innovation designed to enhance communication abilities for individuals with hearing impairment. This reflects SWU’s broader approach to not only providing physical accessibility but also developing assistive learning tools and inclusive pedagogical innovations that improve educational access and outcomes for students with disabilities.
