Inclusive Culture & Compliance @ CSUCI

Toward a Culture of Inclusion and Accessibility

CSUCI has long recognized the value of inclusive and accessible learning experiences for our community. Beyond meeting requirements, inclusive design offers curb-cutting benefits for people who:

• work in noisy environments, or while multitasking

• are navigating distressing news, heavy workloads, or other everyday distractions

• aren't receiving formal accommodations for a disability but still benefit from flexible access

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in publicly funded programs and activities. Title II requires that CSUCI's digital content, including websites, Canvas pages, PDFs, videos, documents, and presentations, meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines by April 26, 2027. Content must be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

• 3PlayMedia has a helpful summary of Title II and WCAG 2.1 AA.
