Accessibility at UNG
Welcome to the University of North Georgia's (UNG) source for accessibility information with a single point of access to pertinent guidance regarding resources across UNG.
Accessibility acknowledges the intersectional identities, experiences, and needs of our whole campus community, which is consistent with
UNG's Vision, Mission, and Values
It extends beyond the requirements for legally required accommodations for faculty, staff, and students. Everyone can bring their complete selves to campus and have the chance to flourish when there is accessibility.
