Faculty members were recently enrolled in a required accessibility course through Canvas this week. You should see it on your dashboard.

This course is self-paced for your convenience, only takes approximately 2 hours to complete, and can be completed a little bit at a time. The final deadline for completing this has been extended to May 17th. Be sure to finish this on or before this date.

Accessibility is the practice of ensuring that all people, including those with disabilities, have equal access to information and opportunities. In the context of higher education, this means that all students should be able to access and participate in their courses and programs, regardless of their abilities.

We know you are busy, but by making your courses accessible, you are creating a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all of your students and abiding by the law required for all higher education courses (face-to-face and online). 

Complete on or before May 17th.
