The directorate of dormitories is one of the directorates of the Presidency of Sulaimani Polytechnic University that is directly attached to the Vice President for Student Affairs. This directorate supervises all the dormitories of colleges and institutes of our university which consists of 7 institutes and 5 colleges. In total we have 25 dormitory buildings, which (3470) students housed in them.
The Purpose of the Directorate of Dormitories:
It works to provide the best accommodation for students so that they consider it their second home, with all the essentials and good services. It should be a place for students to obtain degrees in the scientific departments of our university.
Work and Activities of the Directorate of Dormitories:
During the previous years, the directorate of dormitories continued various activities that consist of field visits to all dormitory buildings of colleges and institutes according to a schedule during the academic year. After that, they write reports and identify problems and shortcomings, then solve them according to the capacity of the directorate in order to further serve and protect the dormitories. This directorate in coordination with the Health and Safety Directorate strives to improve the health and safety behavior of students through joint committees of the directorate of dormitories with the Health and Safety Directorate that visit the fields to investigate and hold accountable for health and safety deficiencies. The aim of this department is to provide the best service to dormitory students.
Accommodation for Students with Special Needs and Disabled Students:
There are a few things students should consider when considering their alternatives for university accommodation if they are disabled or have special learning needs. Accommodations are available for students with disabilities, and they can make changes when needed and apply for financial support.
University-owned accommodation:
All students have the right to live in a safe and suitable environment, regardless of whether they live in private houses or dormitories provided by the University. All universities should provide student disability services and accommodations for students with special needs. Since it is their responsibility to assist you in locating the ideal location, it is a good idea first to contact them to inquire about their alternatives for accommodations. Discuss their needs regarding their accommodations with them, and this will assist us in determining the best course of action or making the necessary arrangements.
Students can speak with the adviser if their accommodations need to meet their needs by relocating them to alternative places or making modifications to their current housing to address the problem. To remove obstacles from education for students with special needs, the institution offers accommodation and assists them throughout their education journey. This includes everything from learning how to study well and receive lectures in the format of their choice to specifically adjusting to their special circumstances to provide the better educational environment they deserve.
Sulaimani Polytechnic University provides adjustments for students with disabilities, such as:
- Learning modifications such as more time for lectures and tests, help taking notes and providing different formats of learning materials.
- Improve the physical accessibility of lecture halls, classrooms, and campus buildings.
- Providing adaptive equipment and assistive technologies.
- Modifying the required tasks of the course according to their need.
- Students with disabilities are exempt from tuition and accommodation fees.
- Students with disabilities are accommodated in ground-level rooms to provide better campus access.
- Students with disabilities and special needs have dedicated car parking spots.
- Students with disabilities and special needs receive a support letter to apply for disability salaries provided by the government and obtain free health checkups in both private and public health sectors.
