Digital equity isn\u2019t just about complying with federal law. It\u2019s also about providing a pathway for those with disabilities to equitably participate in the digital experiences offered at 51ÁÔÆæ. As an access university, this is part of what defines who we are.<\/p>\n

Learn how you play a part in meeting a federal digital accessibility<\/a> deadline by April 2026. At first glance, it may seem like a daunting task. However, there are things we can each do to bring us closer to achieving this goal.<\/p>\n

Find out how to ensure documents, Canvas course materials, social media and videos are digitally accessible for all readers, listeners and viewers.<\/p>\n

Members of 51ÁÔÆæ’s Digital Accessibility Task Force will cover the basics of digital accessibility, training opportunities, tools and online resources.<\/p>\n
