| Abstract | Various education laws in China clearly state that students with disabilities should be provided with the opportunities to fully participate in all activities in society, including studying at higher education institutions (HEIs). The present descriptive study examines physical accessibility of three university campuses in China. A checklist for data collection was developed based on the 2012 Codes for Accessibility Design (Codes) that was released by the Chinese government. The study reveals that facilities are inadequate in providing physical access to people with mobility impairments across all three universities' campuses. Poor government oversight, lack of university commitment, and invisibility of students with disabilities on university campuses are the probable reasons for the lack of accessible facilities across the university campuses. Three recommendations are made: (1) advocating to make amendments to current legislation, (2) addressing the importance of government enforcement and communication, and (3) committing to supporting an inclusive environment on campus. (As Provided). |
