Clemson Online Accessibility
Clemson Online is fully committed to making Clemson University's online, hybrid, and blended courses accessible for all students. We understand how important it is to ensure that students with a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, cognitive, and linguistic abilities have the opportunity to fully participate in courses and earn an education. To this end, Clemson Online seeks compliance with Federal laws and University policies by providing design supports and by collaborating with other campus stakeholders to improve the accessibility of Clemson's digital campus.
