Digital Accessibility
In support of SU's mission "to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and core values that contribute to active citizenship, gainful employment, and life-long learning in a democratic society and interdependent world", ID&D in collaboration with the Disability Resource Center, Division of Inclusion, Access, and Belonging and Office of Information Technology aims to make accessibility a part of everyday work in order to ensure that all digital content is accessible to all individuals.
What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility is the ability of a website, social media, mobile application or electronic document to be easily navigated and understood by a wide range of users, including those users who have visual, auditory, motor or cognitive disabilities. It is achieved by using standards and best practices and benefits everyone by making digital content easier to use and understand, more compatible with different devices, and more flexible for various needs.

SU's Digital Accessibility Campaign
Salisbury University is committed to making digital accessibility a core aspect of operations. The goal of this campaign is to make digital information and experiences accessible to everyone without barriers, by embedding accessibility into the fabric of everyday work. This campaign includes:
- raising awareness
- providing training and support
- developing broader support systems across campus
This campaign aligns with recent updates to Title II regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act that require public universities to comply with federal digital accessibility standards by April 2026. This site will serve as a hub for information, training and resources and will be updated over the next 12 months.
