Accessibility and inclusion standards need to be considered when designing courses, course content, and documents. Accessible content allows students to equitably participate in coursework and improves the learner experience for everyone.
Key Accessibility Resources at U-M
- IT Accessibility at the University of Michigan provides an overview of accessibility along with a copy of the U-M SPG 601.20: Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility. The SPG ensures that digital technology and content is able to be used by people with disabilities as well as it is by the rest of the community.
- The ADA at Michigan provides links to the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 1973, and Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act.
- Accommodations for Faculty and Staff provides information about requesting accommodations and digital accessibility accommodations.
