As part of our ongoing commitment to educational excellence and compliance with federal regulations, we are implementing a phased approach to enhance the accessibility of our online courses. Each semester, we will focus on specific elements of digital accessibility to ensure our learning materials are usable by all students, regardless of their individual needs or abilities. This step-by-step process will not only bring us into alignment with new federal requirements but will also improve the overall quality and effectiveness of our course content for every learner. Below, you'll find information on our current semester's accessibility focus areas, along with resources and guidelines to support faculty in implementing these important changes.
