Accessibility

The University of Texas is committed to everyone who engages with UT Austin—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors. To support this commitment and align with new Title II ADA regulations, we have implemented a new Digital Accessibility policy (HOP 3-3014). The policy will ensure a seamless digital experience for everyone to meaningfully participate in our programs, services, teaching, research, and communications.

All University digital content and technologies used for University business must meet the policy's accessibility standards by March 1, 2026. This effort reaffirms the University's commitment to accessibility, aligns with new federal regulations, and will improve usability of our digital environment.

Guidelines for Content Creators and Managers

These are some of the common actions that content managers can take to help keep their pages in compliance and be generally more accessible:

  • Add alt text to photos
  • Use descriptive links - click here, read more, etc. are examples of what not to do. A good example is: more information on the undergraduate program.

  • Use correct document structure. For example, use headings and paragraphs correctly. Improper use would be using a paragraph length for a heading rather than something short.
