Our Commitment

UC Merced is committed to making our programs, activities, and services inclusive and accessible for everyone and to provide equal opportunities to individuals with disabilities. 

At UC Merced, diversity is one of our core values, and our campus is strengthened and enriched by people with disabilities.  Accessibility is an approach to communication and engagement that recognizes the intersectional identities, experiences, and needs of our entire campus community.  It goes beyond legal accommodations for students, staff, and faculty with disabilities.  Accessibility creates a community where everyone can bring their whole self to campus and have the opportunity to thrive.
