Accessibility at NAU<\/h1>\n

Welcome!<\/h2>\n

Welcome to Northern Arizona University’s Accessibility site. NAU strives to create and maintain inclusive, accessible, and usable environments. On these pages, you will find information and resources to assist you in contributing to that goal.<\/p>\n

NAU Accessibility Resources<\/h2>\n

At NAU, we do not expect faculty and staff to go through the process of creating an inclusive, accessible digital environment on their own. We have resources across campus to help.<\/p>\n

Teaching and Learning Center<\/h3>\n

Our mission is to provide the resources and support that help our faculty be successful, which ultimately promotes the learning and success of our students. Teaching and Learning Center – Teaching and Learning Center – Accessible Digital Course Content<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructional Design Support<\/h3>\n

The Advanced Creative and Instructional Design Team supports Inclusive Excellence in teaching through workshops, course reviews, and faculty consultation. Instructional Design Support<\/a><\/p>\n

Cline Faculty Services<\/h3>\n

We support faculty in a variety of ways including information literacy instruction, help managing research data and more. We are highly collaborative and welcome any suggestions, ideas and requests from our faculty partners. Cline Faculty Services<\/a><\/p>\n

Usable Materials Center<\/h3>\n

The Usable Materials Center (UMC)<\/a> is a resource for the campus community to help support the University\u2019s mission to provide an inclusive and universally designed academic environment. Faculty can request assistance in making content accessible for their courses, whether they have a student enrolled with a disability or not. NAU staff can request assistance in making training materials, flyers or other documents and media accessible to help ensure equitable access for all recipients.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the Center is to assist in making print material and video content accessible for all users.<\/p>\n
