What is the Accessibility Liaison program?

The Accessibility Liaison Program is designed to strengthen UIC’s commitment to digital accessibility and inclusion. This initiative will bridge our current Information and Communications Technology Accessibility Policy with the expanding Digital Accessibility efforts led by Technology Solutions, ongoing collaborations across units and departments, and emerging accessibility standards in higher education to address ADA Title II changes. To learn more about the program, please visit the UIC Accessibility Liaison Program page.

The role of an Accessibility Liaison is crucial in our efforts to create an accessible and inclusive educational environment. They are responsible for developing and implementing accessibility plans, collaborating to improve digital accessibility, and serving as the primary point of contact for their unit.
