This study is focusing on the campus activity and supporting needs of the visually impaired students who use Braille in higher education in China. The purpose of this study is to obtain the information which is helpful for improving the supporting system and learning environment for students with visual impairment. A survey was performed on 17 students who use Braille. We find out that mobility support and digital braille conversion are most common needs for surveyed students. Personal computer and screen reader are most common assistive devices that students need. The results of this study showed the measures to construct the support system for the visually impaired students based on the rational consideration. Based on the findings from this study, we recommend that universities should focus on providing students with support related to braille version textbooks and support related to extracurricular activities.
