(VIRTUAL EVENT) Incorporating Accessibility Into College Planning.

(Hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education and VitalSource) The Department of Justice’s extended deadline for ADA Title II digital-accessibility compliance hits most public institutions on April 26, 2027 — less than a year away. Fourteen percent of institutions currently describe their accessibility posture as defensible, and the rest are racing to close the gap across websites, course materials, and mobile apps. Join The Chronicle on Monday, October 19, at 2 p.m. ET for “Incorporating Accessibility Into College Planning.” At this virtual forum, campus leaders will share how they’re building accessibility into everyday workflows across admissions, academic affairs, and student services, not just IT and web teams. The goal: helping students, faculty, and staff with physical, neurodiverse, or mental-health needs thrive in person, online, and everywhere in between. You’ll leave with practical approaches you can bring back to your own institution.
