Creating Accessible Course Materials

If you are aware that a student is registered with the Moses Center for Student Accessibility, then feel free to contact the Moses Center for consultation with regard to your course materials.

It is best practice and supports NYU's goals to ensure that all digital content is accessible before an accommodation request is made.

Faculty can make their digital course content - e.g. - syllabi, slides, course readings, and websites - available to all by following best practices for content creation.

Note, make sure to include a disability accommodation statement on your syllabus to encourage your students to reach out to the Moses Center early in the semester.
