UDC-Accessible Technology Initiative

What is ATI?

“It is the policy of the CSU to make information technology resources and services accessible to all CSU students, faculty, staff and the general public regardless of disability.” (E.O. 926)

The CSU Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) is the effort by the California State University (CSU) system to ensure that information and communication technology (ICT) is accessible to all students, faculty, staff, and the wider community. ICT includes websites, computer software and hardware, and multimedia such as video.

ATI at CSUN

Per Coded Memorandum AA-2013-03 (PDF), the ATI Steering Committee and its sub-committees and working groups provide governance for the ATI at CSUN.

The Universal Design Center (UDC) manages the day-to-day execution of the ATI for CSUN, drafting the annual reports, training faculty and staff on compliance standards, and evaluating high impact ICT purchases.

Quarterly tests are conducted on the CSUN web domain using Cyxtera’s Compliance Sheriff Accessibility Module. Additional manual testing is conducted as needed based on the findings. UDC also provides more extensive accessibility and usability testing on enterprise level products purchased, promoted, or supported by the campus.
