LSU has contracted with the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD), an international design and education non-profit founded in 1978, to work with them to create a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. IHCD is also supporting LSU to go beyond minimal compliance to support a fully inclusive community. This student survey is central to the commitment to community engagement.
As part of our work with LSU, IHCD is going directly to students who are willing to share their personal experiences and perspectives. We are seeking input across several key areas, including:
- Demographics
- Campus Grounds
- Building Accessibility
- Wayfinding & Signage
- Technology and Online Learning
- Transportation
- Athletics and Recreation
- Events, Performances, and Campus Life
- Interactions with Faculty and Staff
- Policies, Procedures, and Support Services
The goal is to understand how all students experience the campus in terms of the design of physical, information, communication, and policy environments. A portion of students are registered with LSU Disability Services. But not every student with a disability registers, and many other students have diverse needs all or some of the time. We welcome the perspective and shared experience of all students.
Before you begin:
- To resume the survey later from where you left off, you must use the exact same web browser and device you used to start it.
- This survey is open to all currently enrolled LSU students, regardless of year, age, gender, ability, or background.
- All surveys are confidential and completely anonymous. No names or identifying information will be collected.
- The survey has 15 sections and is a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
- The survey will take approximately 30–45 minutes to complete.
- Please be as candid and as detailed as possible. We are eager to learn from students' personal experience and perspective. Over many years and hundreds of projects, IHCD has found that solutions that work for people at the edge of the spectrum of ability work better for everyone.
