Accommodations for Online Courses

The process for requesting accommodations in online courses is same as for on-campus courses; OAS-registered students need to submit a Service Request Form to the OAS in order to request accommodations. Letters of Accommodations will be emailed to instructors of online courses.

Accommodations for online courses might include:

• Extended time on tests/quizzes (on BlackBoard: Adaptive Release)
• Alternate format of textbooks and course materials (i.e., audio, increased font size, color contrast)  
• Captioning
• Recording lectures

Additional Resources for Accessibility for Online Courses:

• Universal Web Site Accessibility Policy for State Web Sites
• Universal Design for Learning Modules
• Blackboard's Commitment to Accessibility
• Sample Syllabus Statement for Online Courses

Please do not hesitate to contact Accessability for additional guidance for accessibility for online courses.
