Web Accessibility Webinar Series

Colleges and Universities are using the internet as a tool to facilitate applications, registration, and dissemination of important information about benefits. Web accessibility ensures that all students, faculty and staff have access to this critical information and the valuable education services offered by colleges and universities. It is also a key to compliance with federal law and critical to the success of the growing population of students with disabilities. This webinar series will provide training on topics critical to creating dynamic and accessible web sites for colleges and universities. Each webinar will be held from 2 PM to 4 PM EST on the dates listed below.
