USI Accessibility Portal

Welcome to USI's campus accessibility portal. USI is committed to ensuring equal access and strives to maintain a barrier-free environment. 

This website is intended to help you develop a plan for ensuring USI is in compliance with the new ADA Title II guidelines. USI is committed to providing equal access and opportunity for all students, employees, and visitors to our campus. The university provides dedicated resources and is committed to enabling access in both physical and digital spaces, ensuring that all individuals can access the resources, opportunities, and learning environments that define the USI experience. 

Digital accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing or interacting with websites, digital tools, and technologies. 

USI's focus on civil rights and accessibility is ongoing, including digital and physical accessibility. The university recognizes that accessibility is a shared responsibility and actively collaborates with students, faculty, staff, and the broader community to create an environment where every Screagle can succeed.

Digital Accessibility Begins With You!

Be an Accessibility Innovator

Each of us has a responsibility to ensure the design, development, distribution, and procurement of electronic and information resources at USI. Being an Accessibility Innovator enables you to go one step further by actively influencing those around you and promoting a campus culture that values the unique characteristics and capabilities of others.

As an Accessibility Innovator, you should pledge to:

  • Be respectful and helpful to everyone
  • Be understanding of each individual's capabilities
  • Utilize accessibility best practices in instructional and business endeavors
  • Provide referrals to accessibility programs and services as needed
  • Actively seek assistance and accessibility training as needed

Together, we can create a campus that prioritizes ethical and responsible use of technology for the betterment of our university community. 

We are working hard to help everyone at USI produce accessible content as required by Title II of the ADA . If you have compliance questions or concerns, please contact the Accessibility Committee at jaroberts@usi.edu
