UIC’s Digital Accessibility Initiative
On April 24, 2024, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division (DOJ) issued a final rule revising Title II of the ADA. The rule requires state and local governments to make their websites, mobile applications, and all other information and communication technology fully accessible for people with disabilities. The agency is adopting the technical standards of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
UIC has a deadline of April 24, 2026, to meet this compliance requirement. All UIC online content, including online courses, websites, mobile apps, electronic documents, communications, and multimedia content, must be accessible and compliant with the WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will have some contacts to help coordinate this process.
