Fall leaves blowing in the fall breeze on Regis campus

Accessibility Advisory Council

Regis University is committed to creating a community of belonging for all students, staff, faculty, and guests by providing an accessible environment. The Accessibility Advisory Council (AAC) is dedicated to enhancing accessibility for all university community members, striving for equitable access to resources, services and learning opportunities. The AAC’s overarching focus is to promote knowledge, skill, institutional practices, and continuous improvement toward accessibility. The committee welcomes input, involvement, and support from all campus community members.

On April 9, 2025, Regis University hosted the first Accessibility Day on the Northwest Denver Campus. The video below was created as part of Accessibility Day to represent the diversity of disability experiences, including both visible and invisible* disabilities, among Regis employees and students.

*Invisible disabilities are not necessarily apparent from the outside and may include, but are not limited to, chronic illness, mental health conditions, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities and sensory or processing difficulties.

Accessibility Tip of the Month

To promote disability access and inclusion at Regis, the AAC offers our Accessibility Tip of the Month:

May 2025 – Color Contrast

When designing posters, flyers, slides, handouts or social media posts, it is important to consider color contrast, especially for people with color blindness. The most common types of color blindness make it hard to tell the difference between reds and greens, and the second most common types make it difficult to distinguish between blues and yellows. Color combos like red text on a green background can be impossible to read. Keep this particular combination in mind for the next winter holiday season! Not sure if your color combo has enough contrast? Just enter the hex values or RGB codes into the WebAIM Contrast Checker tool

A good rule of thumb is to avoid using color alone to communicate important information. Use patterns, labels and bold text instead of or in addition to color. Also, use high-contrast combinations (like dark text and light background) to increase the readability of text. Online tools like Colblindor allow you to upload an image and check how your design looks to folks with color blindness, and they’re super helpful.
