This site is your central resource for digital accessibility requirements, training, and support across the entire university.
Fix Your Content Report an Issue
Whether you manage a website, teach a course, or send department communications, your content needs to be accessible. Start here to find step-by-step guidance for your content type.
Who Is Responsible?
Digital accessibility is a shared responsibility across the University as a whole. Your first step is understanding the requirements and scope of this initiative and your role determines how you can get involved.
Faculty & Instructors
Your courses, syllabi, and teaching materials must meet the same accessibility standards as university websites. Start with your course materials and documents.
Web Content Managers
Every page you publish on louisiana.edu must meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. From heading structure to alt text to color contrast, this is where your checklist starts.
Staff & Administrators
Documents, emails, presentations, and forms you create or send are covered by the same requirements as the university’s websites. Find out what your everyday content needs.
IT & Procurement
Third-party tools and software purchases require accessibility evaluation before approval. Understand what a VPAT is and what scope applies to your platforms.
Experiencing an Accessibility Barrier?
If you encounter content on a University of Louisiana at Lafayette digital property that you cannot access because of a disability, we want to hear from you. The central governance team for the Digital Governance & Accessibility Council is dedicated to improving your digital experience with the University however we can!
Use our accessibility support request form to report the barrier and request an alternative format or accommodation.
