Technology Accessibility

NIU is committed to providing accessible technology, aligning with NIU's inclusive culture, policy and state and federal laws. Accessible technology empowers students, faculty and staff to participate fully in the university's rich technology environment.

Moving from Accommodations to Accessibility

Accessible technology is a shared responsibility and includes procuring accessible technology, creating accessible documents, and using universal design principles in learning and communication. Universal design makes technology for learning and working usable for everyone, addressing differences in communication and learning preferences and accommodating a wide range of circumstances.
