Digital Accessibility and You
Georgia Tech is committed to fostering an accessible digital environment where all members of our community can learn, engage, and thrive. This commitment reflects our institutional values and our ongoing efforts to ensure that digital content and services are usable and welcoming for everyone.
As a public institution, Georgia Tech has a responsibility under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure that its websites, digital content, online services, and communication tools are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. Creating accessible digital experiences is not only a legal requirement—it is a reflection of Georgia Tech’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and community well-being.
This website is designed to support Georgia Tech’s digital content providers—including faculty, staff, and students—by providing clear guidance, practical resources, and training related to Title II digital accessibility requirements. By working together, we can build and maintain digital experiences that are effective and accessible to all who engage with Georgia Tech.
Why Digital Accessibility Matters
Digital accessibility ensures that everyone—regardless of ability—can access information, complete tasks, and fully participate in Georgia Tech’s academic, research, and administrative activities.
Accessible digital content:
- Supports individuals with disabilities, documented and undocumented, who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, captioning, keyboard navigation, or voice recognition software.
- Improves usability for all users, including individuals accessing content on mobile devices, in low-bandwidth environments, or under temporary limitations.
- Advances accessibility for all by proactively removing barriers before they create harm or exclusion.
- Reduces the need for individual accommodations by building accessibility into digital content from the beginning.
