Digital Accessibility Notice

Digital accessibility requirements under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act go into effect as of April 24, 2026. As a result, the Writing & Speaking Center is making every reasonable effort to ensure that the digital materials distributed to students and/or required to engage in the the Center's services are reviewed for compliance with the federal regulations. As of April 24, 2026, if you discover that a Center resource or material has an accessibility issue, please report it to the Mandy Taylor, the Center's Director, immediately after discovery.  If the issue has not been resolved within one week, please report this accessibility issue by way of the College’s standing Campus Accessibility Issue reporting form for review by our ADA Coordinator. 

Please note that the Center will lose some features, such as our logo in the masthead of this page and the option for online tutoring, in order to maintain digital accessibility. In the case of the online tutoring, or eTutoring, module, our platform does not currently have the capacity to meet things like captioning requirements for accessibility. In the event that our scheduling vendor makes new accessibility tools available, we will reinstate features accordingly.
