CAMPUS ACCESSIBILITY
We strive to ensure that people with disabilities have equal, available and reliable access to the organization’s services, digital content, and technologies. Our promise encompasses our offerings made available through both technology and our people.
The university's commitment to equal access to IT has been more formally stated through the publication of an IT Digital Accessibility Policy. The policy looks to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Level AA for guidance in meeting its IT accessibility commitments.

The Campus Accessible Shuttle service is a transportation program for persons with disabilities who need a ride to and from the designated stops within the boundaries of campus and to CU Denver buildings located across Speer Boulevard. Learn more about scheduling rides through the accessible shuttle service.
ADA parking spaces at the Anschutz Campus are highlighted on the interactive map. These spaces are in both visitor pay lots and in the gated permits lots. A valid State issued ADA placard or license plate is to be displayed in any vehicle that is utilizing these spaces.
Access-a-Ride is RTD’s ADA complementary paratransit service. It is a shared-ride service intended for those who cannot use regular fixed-route bus/light rail service due to a disability.
