New: Digital Course Content Accessibility Exception Form
UTA has launched the Digital Course Content Accessibility Exception Request (DCAREQ) for documenting course materials that are inaccessible and cannot be remediated without compromising instructional integrity.
Use the form when:
- A specific item cannot meet WCAG 2.1 AA without altering learning objectives
- You need to document inaccessible content and outline plans for future remediation
Qualifying examples:
- Construction drawings or landscape paintings that must be analyzed visually.
- Musical scores that must be read as notation.
Examples that do NOT qualify:
- Decorative images or illustrative examples (infographics), which can be tagged appropriately.
- Handwritten mathematical formulas, which can be remediated.
What you’ll submit on the linked form:
- Description of the item and its instructional purpose
- Whether the resource was created at UTA or by a vendor
- Whether you expect to remediate or replace it
- A link to your syllabus
- A faculty commitment to coordinate accommodations with appropriate campus units
