Disability Liaison Centre

Most Unitec buildings are wheelchair accessible by ramp or lift, and have an accessible toilet relatively close by. If you do find yourself enrolled in a class where access is inadequate, every consideration will be given to making the necessary modifications.

To help you get across the Mt Albert campus, a Unitec shuttle bus has been fitted with a hoist to transport staff or students in a wheelchair around campus.

The Disability Liaison Centre provides specialised equipment and offers ongoing support. This includes:

• Notetakers
• Readers/writers
• Sign language interpreters.

The Disability Liaison Centre also provides information on accessible car parks and a drop-in service including study spaces and computers.

Parking

Designated spaces are available around the Mt Albert campus. Parking maps are available from the Disability Liaison Centre. Please remember to display your mobility parking permit at all times to avoid being towed away. Mobility parking permits are available from New Zealand CCS Auckland, phone +64 9 414 9780.

At the Waitakere campus, there are two mobility car spaces (180 mins) in Waitakere Lane off Ratanui Street outside Course Information Bldg 510. There are two mobility spaces on each level for Unitec staff and students in the Unitec carpark entrance via Trading Pl. If you are studying at the North Shore campus, the North Shore City Council website has detailed information on parking including maps indicating Mobility parking.

Study rooms

At the Mt Albert campus, two study rooms are available for use by students with disabilities during the semester. These study rooms are located in the Disability Liaison Centre.
