Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to ensure their services, programs, and activities are accessible to people with disabilities.  

• A great way to start learning about common accessibility barriers in digital content is to enable automated accessibility checkers. While these checkers do not catch everything, they can raise awareness and provide feedback for addressing some of the most common accessibility barriers.  
• Examples include Ally (within Canvas) and the accessibility checker in Microsoft Office products. To check the accessibility of websites, free tools like ANDI and WebAIM’s WAVE tool are available.  
• To learn more about digital accessibility and common accessibility barriers in digital content, we have created the following resources:  
  • UTSA Digital Accessibility  
  • Course Design Accessibility Resources  
  • Starting Six Accessibility Essentials  
  • Creating Accessible Canvas Experiences (PressBooks)  
• You can email the Digital Accessibility Team or the Web Accessibility Coordinator with questions related to digital and web accessibility, to request a group training, or request a consultation.  
• You can also check UTSA MyTraining, for upcoming trainings related to these topics.  

Absolutely! The Digital Accessibility Team and the Web Accessibility Coordinator can help you prioritize your efforts so you can make the most of your time.  

The ADA Title II new rules state that based on the size of the population we serve, UTSA has until April 24, 2026, to reach compliance.  

In most cases, the new rule will apply. However, if you have reviewed the section of this resource that outlines what is covered by the new rules and still have questions, please email the Digital Accessibility Team and Web Accessibility Coordinator.
