To learn more about Title II updates, including deadlines, more training and resources, visit and bookmark the WSU Title II Plan SharePoint page.

The U.S. Department of Justice has extended the federal compliance deadline for the updated Title II regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act by one year. While this extension provides additional time at the federal level, the university remains committed to moving forward expeditiously to achieve full accessibility and compliance.

Accessibility work is ongoing and remains a shared, institution‑wide responsibility. All new public‑facing academic and non‑academic content must continue to meet applicable federal accessibility standards and existing content that is not currently accessible is being addressed through structured remediation planning.

To support units in this work, a new Title II SharePoint page has been launched. This site will serve as the central internal location for updates, expectations, guidance, resources and contact information related to the university’s Title II compliance efforts. Faculty and staff are encouraged to review the Title II SharePoint page for additional details and future updates as this work continues.

Wichita State must meet new ADA standards requiring that all public‑facing prerecorded videos meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and include audio descriptions when meaningful visual information isn’t explained through narration. This applies to all videos produced by Wichita State and all content creators associated with the university, including student creators for student organizations.

The first part of the plan asks creators to review their videos to determine which need audio descriptions, which can be archived and which should be removed. To help the campus community assess videos and determine remediation strategies, CTAC and the Media Resources Center are offering the following virtual open‑lab workshops, each from 2 to 3 p.m.:

• March 26
• April 2
• April 8

For more details on the plan and the timeline, as well as workshop links, visit the Video Audio Description workshop page. For other questions, email Krystal Iseminger, director of ADA and Section 504 compliance, at krystal.iseminger@wichita.edu or call 316-978-3205.

Wichita State is now an official partner of Accessibility Summer Camp — an annual virtual conference dedicated to building community and sharing best practices around accessibility. As part of this new partnership, all WSU faculty and staff will receive free admission to the 2026 camp once registration opens.

Want to learn more? Join ASC Live! at noon Friday, Feb. 27 at noon on Zoom for a free webinar featuring long‑time members of the planning committee. They’ll share the history of the conference, how it has grown and what makes this community‑driven event so special.
