Accessibility Requirements for Theses and Dissertations

ADA Title II Compliance

In alignment with updated federal guidance under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, all theses and dissertations must be submitted as fully accessible digital documents. Public universities are required to ensure that digital content is accessible to individuals with disabilities, including those who rely on screen readers and other assistive technologies.

Accordingly, all graduate students must prepare and submit theses and dissertations that meet established digital accessibility standards prior to final approval and publication.
