Access is essential to inclusive education and equal opportunity.
Our goal is to create a digital environment where everyone can access and benefit from the rich learning experiences James Madison University has to offer.
JMU is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all members of our community, in accordance with updated regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Title II requires public institutions, like JMU, to provide equal access to services, programs, and activities including websites, course materials, and other digital resources.
