Free Webinar: Navigating the New Federal Digital Accessibility Rules for HED

In April 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice issued new regulations under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that set enforceable standards for digital accessibility. With a compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, public colleges, universities, and other state and local education systems must act now to ensure their websites, mobile apps, course content, and digital platforms meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements.

This webinar will break down what these regulations mean for higher education, why they matter, and the concrete steps your institution should take to prepare. We'll explore the unique challenges colleges and universities face -- including legacy course content, decentralized content creation, and limited accessibility expertise -- and share practical strategies to build a sustainable culture of digital inclusion.

• Recognize the full scope of required compliance, including websites, mobile apps, course materials, and student service portals
• Determine key steps your institution should take to comply with the new ADA Title II digital accessibility regulations, including auditing, planning, training, remediation, and continuous improvement
• Identify resources to help your institution prepare before the 2026 deadline
