Digital Accessibility Hub
Shared Understanding, Learning, and Creating
Digital accessibility is a shared responsibility at Rhode Island College, and it touches nearly everything we do online — from course materials and websites to videos, forms, and digital tools. This section brings together the core elements of RIC’s digital accessibility efforts in five key areas, designed to help you understand what accessibility means, what’s required, and where support is available.
