UPM OKU Facilities

Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) provides various disability-friendly facilities to ensure equal access and comfort for all members of the campus community.

The establishment of the Disability Services and Support Unit (OKU Unit) under the Student Wellbeing Section, Student Affairs Division (BHEP) demonstrates UPM’s commitment to supporting the welfare of students with disabilities. This unit functions as a reference and coordination center for various initiatives related to special needs, academic assistance, and improvements to campus facilities to make them more accessible.
Facilities across UPM are designed to be accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users and individuals with mobility limitations. Each main pathway, academic building, and public area is equipped with safe and user-friendly physical amenities.
A total of 17 faculties and 10 residential colleges at UPM are equipped with disability-friendly facilities, while the main university buildings also feature accessible infrastructure for all. This initiative places UPM among the most proactive universities in ensuring an inclusive and disability-friendly learning environment.

From a financial perspective, the university allocates funds through special higher education financing and UPM endowment funds for the purpose of upgrading and improving residential facilities. This ensures that residential infrastructure meets current accessibility standards and aligns with the university’s aspiration toward an inclusive campus.
