CUA has renewed its licensure in year 2025 | لقد تم تجديد ترخيص الجامعة في عام 2025
Federal Law No. 29 of 2006 Concerning the Rights of People with Disabilities, as amended with federal law No. 14 of 2009, (the law) protects the rights of people of determination and guarantees them the right to live with dignity.
The law defines a person with special needs as someone suffering from a temporary or permanent, full or partial deficiency or infirmity in their physical, sensory, mental, communication, educational or psychological abilities to an extent that limits their possibility of performing the ordinary requirements as compared to people without special needs.
The management of CUA seeks to encourage the pursuit of education among Students of Determination by providing them with services to ensure stability in their education.
CUA accepts students with different disabilities who are capable of communicating and functioning in a classroom setting.
Special scholarships are available for students with disabilities and can be applied for through the Admissions Office.
The Counsellor is responsible for following up on Students of Determination progress and success in their academic journey at CUA. Students can book appointments or visit the Counsellor for private sessions.
The university provides a number of elevators and ramps on the university campus for ease of movement of students using wheelchairs.
The campus is designed to facilitate movement for students using wheelchairs or crutches.
Basic clinic services are provided by the University without charge to all the students enrolled in CUA. However, students are recommended to have their own medical insurance in case of medical emergencies. Hospital fees are the responsibility of the student.
The clinics are available during the revision period, study times and the nurse can be reached on email through nurse@cu.ac.ae
Free parking is available at the university entrance and basement for students with disabilities. Ramps and elevators are strategically located to enable easy mobility on campus.
More details on student life can be found in the Student Handbook on the CUA website.
People of Determination can seek their higher education at CU Ajman as long as they are capable. Students are required to mention their disability at the time of enrollment or to the Student Affairs Department afterwards. After the student counselor interviews the student, an official document describing the disability will be issued.
By disclosing your disability, the university is better prepared to assist and provide access to the services available for Students of Determination.
Respect and Appreciation:
Treat People of Determination with the same respect and appreciation that you would offer to anyone else. Always prioritize their independence and agency.
Avoid Making Assumptions: Don’t assume that People of Determination are incapable or need constant assistance.
Many individuals with disabilities are highly independent and can accomplish tasks on their own.
Ask Before Offering Help:
If you think someone may need assistance, it’s polite to ask first. Don’t just jump in and help without their consent.
Listen Actively:
Listen to the needs and preferences of individuals with disabilities. They are the best source of information regarding their specific requirements.
Avoid Staring or Making Inappropriate Comments: Staring or making insensitive comments can be hurtful.
Treat individuals with disabilities as you would anyone else and respect their privacy.
Support Inclusion: Encourage inclusive practices in your college, community, and social circles. Everyone benefits from a more inclusive and diverse society.
Remember that each person’s experience and needs are unique, so it’s essential to approach each individual with an open mind and willingness to accommodate their specific requirements.
The key is to foster a society that values and respects the abilities and contributions of all its members, regardless of their disabilities
