Geneseo is dedicated to equal access for individuals with disabilities, following the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By April 2026, it must comply with updated ADA web accessibility regulations, ensuring all digital content—like online class materials, in-person course content, publisher resources, student submissions, third-party platforms, and social media—meets the required technical standards.
