Disability-Friendly University and Disadvantaged Groups Coordinatorship

As Beykoz University, we believe that education is a fundamental right for every individual. Accordingly, we regard it as our highest priority to ensure that all our students can participate in educational, administrative, physical, digital, and social environments in an equal, accessible, and inclusive manner.

With the “Directive on the Coordination Office for an Accessible University and Disadvantaged Groups,” adopted by our University Senate on 30 December 2025, we have structured our efforts within a more systematic, transparent, and sustainable framework.

The primary purpose of our Coordination Office is not only to address physical barriers, but also to identify the needs of students who face challenges in accessing educational processes due to socio-economic, cultural, linguistic, or digital factors, and to develop effective solutions tailored to these needs.

Under the motto “Accessible Campus, Inclusive Future,” we:

  • Make necessary spatial adaptations to ensure that learning environments, tools, and materials are accessible and suitable for our students,
  • Coordinate academic accommodations in assessment and evaluation processes by upholding the principle of equal opportunity,
  • Organize awareness-raising and informative activities for both our students and academic staff to strengthen the culture of inclusivity within our university.

We manage all these processes through accessible communication channels where our students can directly share their views, requests, and suggestions, adopting a participatory approach with the contributions of student representatives and our support commission. While carrying out our activities, we remain fully committed to the principles of personal data protection, confidentiality, and ethics, aiming to build an ecosystem in which every student feels safe and valued.

With the awareness that barriers often lie not in the physical environment but in perspectives, we would like to emphasize that no student at Beykoz University is alone in their academic journey. We will continue to work together to build a more accessible campus and a brighter future.
