This research focus on interpersonal relations and adaptation resources for academics with disabilities in the university, aiming to understand these relationships and the institution's investments to serve these students. As theoretical basis, it dialogues with references of inclusive education and studies on subjectivity. It is a qualitative research, based on case study methodology of academics with disabilities in a community university of Santa Catarina, Brazil, using questionnaire, interview, participant observation and consultation to documents. Participants were five students with disabilities, five of their teachers and 15 of their colleagues, in addition to academic and pedagogical coordinators of the institution. From the content analysis, data were discussed through three categories: a) physical structure offered to students with disabilities; b) methodological resources offered to them; and c) interpersonal relationships established by them and with them. It was observed that, in the research setting, there are limitations with regard to architectural accessibility, attitudes and communication, despite the institutional mobilization to overcome such gaps. The need of intensification of continuing education courses for teachers, administrative technicians and trainees was also identified.

Keywords : inclusion; students with disabilities; accessibility; higher education; subjectivity.
