    SENSITIVITY & INCLUSION

    At IE University, it’s important to us that all of our team members stay up to speed on all things inclusivity and belonging. To that end, we’ve created a free sensitivity training course for faculty and staff, available here:

    We encourage you to complete our tutorial Accessibility, Inclusion, and Belonging: Disabilities and Diversity.

    RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS

    • INTERNAL COMMUNICATION

      How will faculty members know when they have a student with a disability?

      • Students will submit a request for accommodations through the Student Portal.
      • The Special Educational Needs (SEN) office will review the request, then issue a resolution to the student’s academic office.
      • The academic office will then email the relevant professors to notify them of the resolution and how they should make the appropriate accommodations.

    • ACCESSIBILITY IN THE SYLLABUS

      Our stance on accessibility should be clear from day one. The best way to do so is by:

      • Including a statement on accessibility and disability on the syllabus
      • Clearly explaining the statement during the in-class syllabus review
      • Ensuring that the syllabus itself abides by relevant accessibility standards

    • MAKING CONTENT ACCESSIBLE

      At IE University, we believe it’s key to make content as accessible as possible – visually, linguistically, technically, and beyond. 

      We recommend this thorough guide to creating accessible digital content.
