Accessibility

In compliance with federal regulations, all public- and internal-facing web content must meet accessibility standards by April 23, 2026.

This includes all websites ending in .umn.edu—from departmental pages to personal and research group sites. To support this initiative, faculty websites will be migrated to a University-supported platform—either Google Sites or Drupal Lite.

The CSE Accessibility Team is here to help. We’ll assist with content fixes and ensure a smooth migration process, so your site is accessible, compliant, and error-free. 

Visit the CSE Accessibility Remediation Project webpage for more information and help in meeting the compliance deadline.

Accessibility training

All CSE Web Drupal editors are required to complete the Digital Accessibility: Foundations course, which outlines the basics of accessibility, why it matters, and how we can incorporate it into our daily work. 

After taking the Foundations course, you can continue your training with additional courses through the Digital Accessibility Badging Program website. The self-paced program includes courses in the following topics:

  • Web content
  • Slide presentations
  • Documents
  • PDFs

Accessibility Tools

The CSE Web Drupal platform features the Editoria11y module which provides real time feedback on many common accessibility concerns when editing pages. For more information, see this overview from University Relations.
