All digital materials used in your teaching need to be compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA standard for digital accessibility. Digital accessibility is a legal requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and a shared institutional responsibility at the University of Mary Washington. Every faculty member plays a critical role in helping UMW meet its obligations under Title II. Faculty are responsible for ensuring that all digital content created, selected, or provided to students is accessible — regardless of who is enrolled in a given course. This includes, but is not limited to, course sites, syllabi, documents, videos, presentations, publisher resources (e.g., Wiley, McGraw-Hill), and discussion boards. Accessibility must be ensured at the start of and maintained throughout each term. Meeting this expectation should not be viewed as a one-time compliance exercise. Accessible course design is an ongoing instructional responsibility and a permanent part of teaching and learning at UMW.
