Hello COEHD Faculty and Staff,
All UT San Antonio digital content must comply with updated ADA standards by Friday, April
24, as part of a new federal mandate. This impacts everyone, including all faculty,
instructors, TAs, staff, and students. All digital materials must meet Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA.
Visit the compliance
webpage<https://www.utsa.edu/ada/compliance2026/> to learn the
basics of accessibility, access staff and faculty plans, and a variety of resources. You
can catch up on past trainings by watching these Digital Accessibility
videos<https://click.e.utsa.edu/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6IjBjYzYxMDk4LTkwNmUtNG...
or enroll in upcoming digital accessibility
trainings<https://faculty.utsa.edu/events/tag/digital-accessibility/li...;.
For faculty, Canvas Ally is an accessibility tool that is integrated into your Canvas
course that automatically checks your content to make your course materials accessible to
all students. Learn more about

and how to work towards an Ally score of 85% or higher by April.
