Mandatory Accessibility Training
Ensuring the accessibility of Washington State University electronic information is a priority and a policy that was endorsed and mandated by university executives in the summer of 2017. To provide guidance for this policy, an online training program has launched for website designers, technicians, and copy writers.
This training is required annually and is designed to give participants an introductory-level understanding of Web accessibility. It equips people the fundamental skills needed to make a WSU website accessible. Take WSU’s accessibility training.
