Instructors are routinely notified about
student web accessibility needs via a
Disability Certification Letter from the
Student Support Services office
Training about web accessibility concerns is a regular part of the fall and spring
in-service meetings for full- and part-time faculty and staff. Any remaining
unresolved issues are handled through the Student Support Services office
with staff acting as advocates/ troubleshooters to eliminate barriers to student
success. Since most courses now have at least some web-based
supplemental course material, this is an ever-present concern.
