Fresno State offers accessibility training to help faculty, staff, and student employees create inclusive digital content and experiences. This page describes available workshops, online modules, and consultation options.

Digital Document CSULearn/Classroom Training

On April 20, 2026, the Department of Justice announced new deadlines for meeting ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) web and mobile accessibility requirements. Public institutions serving more than 50,000 people now have until April 26, 2027, to comply. Schools and public institutions are expected to fully meet these standards.

Our university is responsible for making sure digital content is accessible to people with disabilities. This includes not only websites and mobile applications, but also documents, forms, presentations, videos, and other materials created and shared by employees. Inaccessible content can limit participation in university programs and services and create compliance risks before the federal deadline.

To support this effort, we are launching a Digital Document Accessibility Training Program. This course is designed to give employees practical skills to create accessible PDFs and reduce barriers across our digital environment. All employees who create, edit, publish, or distribute content within the campus web environment are required to complete this training. This includes OMNI web editors, contributors, and others with web publishing responsibilities. Access to OMNI and related web publishing tools is contingent upon completing the required training. Employees who do not complete the training by the deadline (December 18th, 2026) will have their publishing access suspended until the requirement is fulfilled.

Digital Document Accessibility Training registration

The training is available now through December 18, 2026, and takes approximately 90–120 minutes to complete. It is self-paced, fully online, and may be completed in multiple sessions. Training is considered complete once participants successfully convert a test PDF into an accessible document.

Please note that pop-up blockers must be disabled during use, and the training is not compatible with mobile devices. Completing this training is a necessary step toward building a sustainable, accessible digital environment that supports all members of our campus community.

Workshops and Webinars

Regular sessions cover topics such as accessible documents, web content, Canvas courses, and multimedia. Workshops may be offered through the Center for Faculty Excellence, Technology Services, or other campus partners.

OMNI CMS Training

Self-paced modules and short videos provide just-in-time guidance on specific accessibility tasks. These materials can be integrated into onboarding or department training plans.

Consultations

Faculty and staff can request one-on-one consultations for course reviews, web projects, or unit-specific training needs. The ATI team and partner offices can tailor sessions to your audience and content
