Accessibility at Sacramento State
Sacramento State recognizes the importance of making its physical facilities as well as its information technology resources and services accessible, to serve the largest possible audience and to ensure that the campus is accessible by all students, faculty, staff, and the general public regardless of disability status.
The California State University (CSU) system launched a system-wide Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) in order to develop the work plan, guidance, and resources to assist campuses in carrying out the accessible technology provisions of Executive Order 926 (EO):
"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."
The Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) Project at Sacramento State is a reflection of the University’s ongoing commitment to accessible technology. As part of the ATI, this webpage has been developed to provide you with accessibility resources and information.

Quote from the President on the Accessible Technology Initiative:
"At its heart, this initiative is about fairness and about doing what the CSU does best – offering the greatest possible access to higher education. Under this initiative, the CSU is committed to making information technology and resources available to everyone, regardless of ability or challenge. It is a large effort, and many of you will be involved. I would ask that we all work to live up to the spirit of this work – to do all we can in our individual work to make the campus more accessible."
