Accessibility for Faculty

University of California is committed to ensuring that all campus Information Resources and Technologies are fully accessible for persons with disabilities. This commitment reflects a goal to provide the most effective learning environment for all students--rather than simply to ensure compliance with various federal and state laws.

Accessible Instructional Materials

• Disability Resource Center  is the resource for faculty to access information about how to provide fully accessible content and meet the needs of students with disabilities.
• Faculty Instructional Technology Center provides services and resources for making your instructional materials accessible.

How to Create Accessible Course Materials

All materials distributed to students, whether in-class or online, in hard copy or electronic format, by faculty or teaching assistant, must be accessible to those who use adaptive technology software, such as screen readers. See the Disability Resource Center’s overview of creating accessible course materials: https://drc.ucsc.edu/faculty-and-staff/fac-staff-overview/creating-accessible-course-materials.html
