Working together toward compliance

Dear Colleagues,

As we approach April 24, we want to highlight our collective commitment to ensuring all University of Maine System digital content is accessible under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Every step you take makes a difference. Every video captioned, every proper heading structure implemented, and every piece of alt text added to an image is a significant win for our community. These efforts ensure that our digital environment is inclusive, welcoming, and equitable for all students, staff, and the public.

Supporting Your Success

We applaud the progress made across our universities so far. To support your ongoing work, we have developed a Robust Title II FAQ to address common technical questions and compliance standards.

Join the Conversation: Community Forums

We want to hear from you. We are hosting two upcoming community forums to answer your questions and gather feedback on our digital accessibility efforts. Registration is not required. Please bring your questions and your thoughts, and join us at your preferred time via the Zoom link below.

Forum #1: Wednesday, April 22 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Forum #2: Wednesday, May 6 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
