Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Texas Tech, we know that accessibility enhances learning, research and community engagement—and reflects the university’s dedication to serving all Red Raiders equitably.

Legal Framework

Texas Tech’s accessibility efforts are guided by the following federal and state regulations:

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II (Updated 2024) – Clarifies that all digital materials, including websites, instructional materials and online services, must be accessible.
• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act – Establishes standards for accessible electronic and information technology.
• State of Texas Accessibility Standards – Provide state-level guidelines for public institutions.

Timeline to Compliance

• 2024: DOJ publishes updated Title II rule.
• 2025: Accessibility Committee established; comprehensive audits begin.
• April 2026: Deadline for full digital accessibility compliance.
