Welcome to the Accessibility Toolbox, a resource designed to support faculty in creating accessible and inclusive learning environments for all students. Below, you will find tools, guidelines, and resources to help ensure that your course materials and digital content are accessible to all students.

While this page offers a variety of resources for making your digital content accessible, please note that the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) is your primary support resource at the 91导航 for any questions or assistance related to accessibility accommodations.

 (Acrobat)

You can use Acrobat to make PDFs meet the common accessibility standards, such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA and PDF/UA (Universal Access, or ISO 14289). This includes adding tags, alternative text for images, and ensuring proper reading order, making the document compatible with screen readers. Acrobat also provides tools to verify accessibility and identify issues that need correction to comply with accessibility standards. To learn more about creating accessible PDF documents, see the YuJa Panorama (Brightspace 3rd Party Accessibility Tool) section above.  There you will find guidance on resolving PDF accessibility issues.

 

UCM faculty and staff now have access to Adobe Acrobat through their UCM account.  Locate the application on your device and log in using your UCM network credentials.  Please note that you must use your full email address as your username to access.  

 

This document provides a foundational outline to help UCM faculty ensure their PDFs meet Title II accessibility standards, specifically aligning with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
