Microsoft Accessibility
Microsoft provides a variety of tools to make your course content accessible. Tools, like the Accessibility Checker in Office 365, provide easy-to-use features that help create accessible content, promoting equality and ethical responsibility in digital environments.
The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) has created these guides to support students when they create accessible Microsoft content. Instructors are encouraged to share this page in their classes.
If you are a student and have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact the Student Accessibility Support Center, Stony Brook Union Suite 107, (631) 632-6748, or at sasc@stonybrook.edu. They will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.
