Microsoft Accessibility Guidelines
Below is a list of Microsoft resources to aid in creating digitally accessible content.
Background
In April 2024, the Department of Justice issued a ruling regarding Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, requiring web content and mobile applications to be accessible to people with disabilities. Because of this ruling, all digital content must be made accessible on our campus by April 2026.
