Accessible Course Content Program

We are pleased to introduce UC Santa Barbara’s Accessible Course Content Program. This program provides resources, workshops, and one-to-one consulting to help instructors improve the accessibility of course materials for all students. It also plays a central role in helping the campus meet its responsibility for upcoming ADA Title II compliance, part of our ongoing campus efforts to align online resources and websites with UC policies and federal law.

Visit the Canvas Accessibility page to learn about upcoming workshops, explore resources, and view guidance from the Accessible Course Content Program. For more information about UC and campus accessibility expectations, visit the Digital Accessibility site.
