Accessibility Advisory Council
Regis University is focused on ensuring that education is accessible to all. Not only is Regis University legally responsible for our Accessibility Policy, but providing equal access also aligns with our Jesuit mission and our commitment to do what is right. The Accessibility Advisory Council (AAC) includes representatives from campus-wide units and includes faculty and staff. For Council meeting notes, contact accessibility@regis.edu.
Accessibility Tip of the Month
To promote disability access and inclusion at Regis, the AAC offers our Accessibility Tip of the Month:
November 2024
One major step toward a fully accessible campus is ensuring all community members can access information. Small changes can have a tremendous impact on students, faculty and staff who use screen readers and other text-to-talk technologies. These technologies benefit people with vision and audio impairments, non-native speakers or those with lower literacy, people with learning disabilities, and those with temporary impairments like concussions and migraines.
Creating Accessible Emails
Checking the accessibility of emails before sending them is extremely easy:
- Click the three dots at the top-right of your new message.
- Select “Check Accessibility.”
- You’ll see a list of errors, warnings and tips on how to fix them.
If images are part of an email, such as the Regis University logo, alternative text (alt text) must be added. Follow these steps:
- Right-click on the image.
- Select "Add alternate text."
- Type 1-2 sentences to describe the image and its context to someone who cannot see it. For the Regis logo, simply add "Regis University logo" to the alt text box.
Practice these tips today and work to incorporate them regularly into your daily routine!
