The Department of Justice has issued updated ADA Title II regulations establishing comprehensive accessibility standards for state and local government entities. As part of the University of Missouri System, our campus must ensure all digital content and applications are accessible to individuals with disabilities by April 24, 2027.
The UMSL Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is partnering with UM Academic Technology and the Digital Accessibility Taskforce to support faculty through this transition. The CTL is here to help you understand the pedagogical implications of these requirements, while UM Academic Technology provides technical support and guidance for implementation.
The CTL is committed to fostering a barrier-free educational environment by ensuring that all digital course content and learning materials are accessible to every student. In alignment with ADA Title II standards, our team collaborates with other units on campus to actively support faculty and instructional staff by offering targeted training opportunities, as well as providing pedagogical guidance on accessible course design and remediation of complex digital materials. To explore comprehensive support pathways, self-paced training sessions, and technical implementation tools, please explore our Digital Accessibility in Teaching resources.
