Hello all, 

I wanted to follow up with Equidox resources if you were unable to attend the training on Monday afternoon. 

Here is a link to the recording and resources from the presentation. 


Academic Innovation will continue to host upcoming workshops. For more individualized support on these, or any other topics, contact the Academic Innovation team at academicinnovation@utsa.edu or 210-458-4520, or schedule a consultation with a Teaching and Learning Consultant.

Thank you,

Subject: Faculty CV Accessibility Requirements

Hello COEHD Faculty and Staff, 

As part of our ongoing effort to meet the accessibility standards established by the U.S. Department of Justice, we are continuing the process of updating our digital platforms and documents to ensure full compliance by April 24, 2026. A key part of the compliance process is ensuring our websites are accessible.

You may review the federal accessibility standards linked here.

All current inaccessible CV PDFs will be removed from faculty profiles on Friday, February 27. If you would like your CV to remain on your profile, it must be remediated to meet accessibility standards using Equidox. Documents that do meet accessibility requirements will not be uploaded to the website. Please note that the COEHD Communications team will not edit documents on your behalf.

We will be using Equidox, a web-based tool designed to efficiently create accessible PDFs by streamlining technical tasks such as headings, reading order, and alt text. There is an upcoming virtual Equidox training that is beginner-friendly and will be held on Monday, February 16 from 2:00-3:30pm. We strongly encourage faculty and staff to attend. Register for the course using the link here.

Faculty are not required to have a CV attached to their profile. An accessible alternative is to include your professional information directly within your faculty profile. We can incorporate the following elements:

Dr. Sidury Christiansen’s faculty profile is a strong example of how to fully utilize these features and can be viewed here.

To request updates to your profile, please submit changes through ServiceNow. If you are submitting content, please provide it in a Word document, not a PDF. 

The university has created a variety of resources to support this transition and are linked below:
