In support of SU's mission "to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and core values that contribute to active citizenship, gainful employment, and life-long learning in a democratic society and interdependent world", SU is committed to fostering a welcoming digital environment. Our goal is to make accessibility a part of everyday work to ensure that all digital content is accessible to all individuals.

What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility ensures that everyone – regardless of ability – can fully participate in our university’s digital content and tools. This means our course materials, electronic documents, email communications, mobile applications, social media posts, and other digital tools can be usable by anyone who needs them, in whatever way they use them. It improves usability across the board and supports a wide range of users – including those with temporary or situational challenges.

Improving digital accessibility is continuous and a skillset woven into the fabric of our everyday work with the goal of creating digital artifacts that are “born accessible.” Starting in April 2025, our campus engagement by faculty, staff and students continues to grow:
