Learn more about these changes and how they could affect you.
UCF promotes a culture of inclusive excellence and compassion. All courses must be accessible and usable for every student. If you have questions about how to make your course accessible to all learners, please work with the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning, the Center for Distributed Learning and Student Accessibility Services.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for your dedication to excellence and student success, and best wishes for a rewarding new academic year.
