Digital accessibility ensures that everyone — including people with disabilities — can access and use digital content and tools. Building accessibility into websites, documents, and course materials from the start helps everyone. It reduces the need for last-minute fixes, improves usability across the board, and supports a wide range of users — including those with temporary or situational challenges. Accessible design is smart design.

UMBC is committed to fostering a welcoming digital environment. We are taking proactive steps to ensure that our digital content, platforms, and learning materials are accessible to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Digital accessibility is supported by federal laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
