Digital Accessibility Hub
Opportunities for All
We are committed to fostering and maintaining an accessible institution. Digital accessibility is a shared responsibility.
Every unit, every role and every contributor plays a part in creating accessible digital spaces that welcome and support all users, including those with disabilities.
April 2026 is the deadline to have all digital materials accessible.
