The Accessibility Hub is a summary and routing page for accessibility resources. It
is not intended to replace detailed procedures; instead, it connects content owners
with the right guidance, contacts, and next steps.
Content Ownership
Digital: Faculty, instructional designers, and course owners are responsible for the accessibility
of course materials and academic learning resources.
Web: Website content owners, site editors, and communications teams maintain accessible
web pages, links, and digital assets.
Physical: Facilities, event planners, and Disability and Access Services coordinate campus
access, accommodations, and visitor access needs.
Accessibility Authoring Basics
Use clear, accessible headings to define page structure and support navigation.
Write descriptive link text so users understand where links lead.
Provide meaningful alt text for images and visual content.
Ensure documents are accessible before adding them to the site.
Test content before publishing to catch issues early.
Work to prevent new barriers by choosing accessible formats and avoiding outdated
or duplicate content.
When to Escalate
Escalate if content raises compliance or legal questions around accessibility requirements.
Escalate when ownership is unclear and the content or process crosses departments.
Escalate when new services, tools, or platforms are introduced that may create accessibility
obligations.
Pre-Publish Check
Links are verified and working.
Content is not a duplicate of existing pages or documents.
The correct content owner is identified and accountable.
Accessible content standards are met before publish.
