Questions About Accessibility Compliance

The campuswide initiative to promote accessible technology is directed by the Technology Services IT Accessibility team, a coordinated team of subject matter experts who have backgrounds in accessibility policy and compliance. As required by state law, Texas A&M has designated a Digital Accessibility Officer (DAO) who leads the team by planning strategically, consulting with stakeholders, monitoring compliance through periodic reporting, facilitating training, and promoting campus awareness.
