This session will be open Q&A, discussion, unique case studies, and creative solutions to complicated issues. We will also review the resources available to instructors to find answers, policies, and procedures. We will discuss the upcoming Section 508 requirements, requiring all digital content to be accessible by 2026. Our intent for this session is to hear from you. Navigating accommodations and course content remediation can be difficult; that's why our team is here to support not only students but faculty as well.

These sessions are intended for those teaching this semester and their TAs, RAs, GAs, and LAs.

The session will be recorded and posted on Blackboard; I hope you can make the time to attend. Session link will be emailed and posted before the session you registered for by clicking "going virtually" below.

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

UMBC is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all. To request accommodation(s) or to inquire about event accessibility, please contact us via disability@umbc.edu with Everything you wanted to know in the subject line.
