Digital Accessibility
Digital accessibility is a District-wide, institutional responsibility. It is a legal requirement and expected across all campuses, departments and roles.
The ADA Title II Ruling on Digital Accessibility
The Department of Justice’s final Title II rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that state and local government entities, including public community colleges, ensure equal access to programs, services, and activities. This includes digital information and services such as websites, learning management systems, digital documents, videos, mobile applications, and other online tools.
By April 2026, all web and mobile content, including course materials, must comply with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. This requirement applies broadly, including:
- Websites and web applications
- Mobile apps and social media
- PDFs and other digital documents
- Audio and video content
- Online forms and applications
- Vendor and third-party content
- Canvas and other instructional platforms
- Virtual services
- Internet tools and employee communications, including email
