Accessibility Compliance for Digital Teaching & Learning

Expectations and Enforcement

Two people learning

U.S. Department of Justice Ruling on Accessibility of Web Content & Services
Beginning April 24, 2026, all CSU campuses will be required to ensure that all digital course materials are accessible to individuals with disabilities, in compliance with Title II of the ADA.

As part of our campus commitment to equity and inclusion, Academic Technology is supporting this effort to make sure all digital content meets accessibility standards:

  • Canvas course content
  • Documents (PDF, Word, Powerpoint, etc.)
  • Videos (recorded lectures, meetings, tutorials, etc.)

Providing accessible content not only fulfills our legal obligations but also ensures that every member of our campus community can fully engage with learning materials and digital resources.

CSU Remediation Tool

The CSU has a PDF Accessibility Remediation Tool designed to help make PDFs more accessible by automatically fixing common accessibility issues. This tool can significantly reduce the time and effort required to remediate documents.
