Overview of Physical Access Services
SF State provides a variety of services in order to ensure physical access. Below, you will find information about the Cart Service and other mobility resources, parking, accessible classroom furniture, as well as campus Access and Construction Alerts.
Accessible transportation is available to those requiring mobility assistance around campus through Parking & Transportation. More information, and the form to schedule recurring rides, can be found on their website under the 'Safewalk/Mobility Transportation' tab.
An SF State parking permit is required to park in any of the lots located on campus. If you have a DMV placard or Disabled Person (DP) plate but do not have both a placard/plate displayed and a valid parking permit while parked in a blue zone, you may be cited. Parking is enforced 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Placard or DP plate holders may park in Lots 2, 19, 20 and 25 regardless of permit assignment, so long as you park in a blue ADA parking space with 1) a placard displayed and 2) a valid permit.
Students in possession of a DMV Placard or Plates, and with great financial need, may apply for a parking permit fee waiver by reaching out to Parking & Transportation at parking@sfsu.edu.
If you require assistance with parking for on-campus housing, please notify your disability specialist.
All furniture accommodations are arranged and provided through the DPRC in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended. Our inventory includes padded and adjustable chairs, height-adjustable tables, and footstools. Other requests may be discussed with your disability specialist.
Students who are approved for furniture accommodations are encouraged to submit their requests in myDPRC at least three weeks before the start of the semester in order to ensure placement prior to the beginning of classes. DPRC furniture accommodations will be clearly marked in the classroom.
Students will be prompted to sign the Furniture E-Form agreement at the start of each semester. After reviewing and signing this form, you will be able to submit an accommodation request through myDPRC for each class you want to use this accommodation in. To learn more, please visit the myDPRC training portal
Additional questions? Contact the DPRC at (415) 338-2472 or dprc@sfsu.edu.
The University will provide updates on campus construction, related temporary barriers and options for alternate access around campus during University construction projects. Check the Access and Construction Alerts website prior to visiting campus and/or subscribe to receive e-mails as new Access and Construction Alerts are posted.
Construction activity is a constant reminder of the progressive growth of San Francisco State University as facilities are repaired or renovated to better serve the campus community. Many of these projects require temporary adjustments in accustomed paths of travel, often with little notice. Significant efforts are made to use on-site signage to indicate detours clearly, and to maintain accessible routes with minimum inconvenience.
