Accessibility at Kennesaw State
Kennesaw State University is committed to providing an accessible, inclusive experience for students, employees, visitors, and members of the public. Accessibility at KSU includes access to physical spaces, academic and workplace accommodations, and digital access to university information, services, and technology.
KSU works to reduce barriers and improve access so members of the university community can fully participate in programs, services, and activities. The university provides program accessibility and reasonable accommodations for individuals covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. KSU also works to meet the Department of Justice’s Title II digital accessibility requirements, including WCAG 2.1 Level AA for web content and mobile apps.
University accessibility assistance is provided by several offices, as noted below.
Staff in these offices work to accommodate requests for access or assistance with
access as soon as possible to either accommodate the request or identify an effective
alternative for the requestor.
