The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) published a new rule on digital accessibility under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This rule requires the University’s web content, including academic course content, to be accessible starting on April 24, 2026.
Accessibility is a shared responsibility
Complying with the new rule will require collaboration and partnership to ensure websites, electronic documents, media and digital tools are readily usable by all. University Communications, the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Provost’s Office, Information Technology, and the ADA Office are coordinating efforts to create a plan for compliance and provide resources to the campus community.
To get assistance with implementing accessible practices, or to ask questions about accessibility, please contact the office best suited to assist you.
