There have been improvements in raising awareness and inclusion of students with physical disabilities in university institutions. However, challenges still persist, such as the lack of accessible infrastructure and discrimination from certain members of the academic community. This article aims to reflect on the mobility of people with physical disabilities in universities, aiming to ensure access and equality in order to promote greater inclusion and opportunities for all. It is a bibliographic research, and the results highlight three issues: inadequate infrastructure, lack of awareness and sensitivity, and the absence of support resources to assist people with physical disabilities in their academic activities. By approach these challenges and seeking solutions for them, universities can become truly inclusive environments where people with disabilities have equal access, participation, and opportunities for academic success.
