Uttara University believes learning does not end with a degree. This Policy makes the University’s lifelong learning activities open to everyone and removes barriers to taking part. It supports SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

It covers activities for people not enrolled in a degree programme: public seminars, lectures and workshops, short and vocational training, library resources for the public, and outreach in schools and communities.

Principle of equal access

These activities are open to everyone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, nationality or immigration status (within what the law allows).

Commitments

• Venues are accessible, and reasonable adjustments are made on request.
• Fees are published in advance, and free places are offered where possible.
• Women are encouraged to take part, and events are made suitable and safe for them.
• Library access and events are covered by the Library Access Policy and the Events and Programs Policy.

Concerns and Review

Anyone needing an adjustment, or who feels treated unfairly, can contact directoradmission@uttata.ac.bd and will not be penalised for doing so. The Office of External Affairs applies this Policy and reports yearly to the Vice-Chancellor, who approves it. It is published on the website and reviewed at least every three years.
