Here are some resources to help you comply with the new ADA digital accessibility requirements 

Step 1: Learn the Basics

Watch this video to learn about the new accessibility requirements and what steps you should take:

  • Word documents, Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs
  • Departmental web pages and online forms
  • Emails, newsletters, and announcements
  • SharePoint or Teams sites, intranet pages, and file libraries
  • Training materials, meeting slides, and reports
  • Digital signage, flyers, and event promotions
  • Videos, webinars, recorded presentations, and ceremonies
  • Templates and branded materials distributed across departments
  • Social media content and digital outreach posts shared on official university accounts
  • Any externally shared digital resources provided to community partners

UT San Antonio may face potential financial penalties, while your team may face business interruptions and court mandated changes to content. Strive for substantial conformance. Substantial conformance means that your content no critical accessibility barriers preventing users with disabilities from accessing content equitably, privately, and independently. While minor issues may still exist, they should not create significant obstacles for users.

Step 2: Follow A Plan

Now that you understand the work ahead, it’s time to map out your effort to reach compliance. Depending on your job, select a path to folow:

Staff

We recommend breaking your work into five phases, with each building on the last. The first two will focus on learning and can be completed within a few weeks. The remaining phases take longer and will vary based on your content, so plan ahead. Aim for steady progress.

Faculty

Work towards an Ally score of 85% or higher by April. Ally is an automated course accessibility tool, integrated within our Learning Management System. Each week, focus on tackling one or two tasks from our Faculty Plan, prioritizing progress over perfection.
