Mature Digital Accessibility

As part of our commitment to creating an inclusive digital environment, we are advancing the Digital Accessibility Services program. By equipping units across the university with the tools and guidance they need to implement accessible digital products, we are simplifying the experience for students, faculty, and staff with disabilities. Accessible websites and applications allow independent use of digital assets, removing barriers to learning and participation, and aligning with Ohio State’s mission to provide equitable access to education. Timeline: Ongoing​​​​​​
