Accessibility Resources
Geneseo is committed to providing equal access to its programs, services, and activities for individuals with disabilities, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Geneseo is required to comply with the updated ADA regulations for web accessibility by April 2026. This includes ensuring that all digital content—including all content for online classes, digital content for in-person courses, content from publishers, student-submitted content, third-party platforms, and social media channels—meet the specified technical standards.
The documentation in this Self Help section includes Geneseo-specific documents and external resources for reference. For questions or assistance, please request an accessibility consultation.
