What is Accessibility?
In this context, “accessibility” means that people with disabilities have access – to facilities, to information and to technology.
What is Universal Design?
“Universal design” takes this concept one step further, to ensure that everyone can perceive, understand, engage, navigate and interact regardless of ability or preference.
The following pages provide additional information regarding the importance of accessibility and universal design:
Universal Design Center Mission
The UDC supports the campus community in their efforts to make it possible for individuals to learn, communicate, and share via information and communication technology. One way we do this is by assisting the campus community to ensure their information and communication technology is interoperable, usable and accessible, so that individual learning and processing styles and/or physical characteristics are not barriers to access.
The role of the UDC is to help CSUN implement business practices which enable the campus to meet policy standards under the Accessible Technology Initiative Coded Memoranda.
Shared Campus Responsibility
What does this mean to me?
Everyone has a part in creating accessible and usable information. The responsibility of creating and maintaining accessible content falls to the entire campus community.
