What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital Accessibility is creating content for online and mobile use that is accessible for users with diverse needs.

Why is Digital Accessibility Important?

1 in 4 adults in Illinois have a disability. Creating content that is digitally accessible provides persons with a disability to have equitable access to information. This equal access allows individuals to participate in learning and enrichment opportunities across our campus community.

Purpose 

Content that has been published for historical, legal, or reference purposes could remain on the website, even if the content is not accessible. However, all criteria for archived web content exception must be followed for web content to be archived. 

Note: Content that qualifies as archivable, may still require an accessible version of the document upon request. A best practice is to create and publish accessible content when possible.
