If there are additional topics you are interested in, or if you are a faculty member interested in presenting your innovative proactive accessibility techniques, please email the Instructional Accessibility Group at [email protected].

Instructors looking for feedback on the accessibility of part of their course can request an Access Check by emailing the IAG. We will spend between 1-6 hours investigating and provide a report with our findings. In addition to the report, instructors can request either a working session meeting (virtual over Teams or in-person) or request the IAG perform approximately 1 hour of remediation work as an exemplar. For more details, visit the Access Check Process webpage, or email us if you are ready to get started!

We love visiting departments! Please email us at [email protected] to schedule a visit with your department. We can do a shorter presentation at a department meeting on our services and guides, or we can run a longer meeting with some subject-specific accessibility tips (with advance notice so we have time to prepare).
