Safety
The UAB has an emergency action plan. In the case of people with a disability, a support person is assigned to people with a visual impairment and two support people are assigned to people with reduced mobility to act in the event of evacuation.
When you enrol, please inform your faculty so this protocol can be implemented in an emergency.

Libraries
The UAB has seven libraries on its main campus and at Sabadell.
As a student with a disability you may request:
- An extension on loans.
- Bibliographic research support. However, please remember that the main UAB libraries have disabled-friendly research IT points with special speech synthesis and zoom-in large-print programs.
- Support in book loans. You can also use the TV glasses in the reading rooms. TV glasses are letter-expansion systems that facilitate access to the printed word for the visually impaired. TV glasses are free to use.
