What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility ensures that everyone, including people with disabilities, can access and use digital content and tools. Building accessibility into websites, documents, and course materials from the start helps everyone. It reduces the need for last-minute fixes, improves usability across the board, and supports a wide range of users — including those with temporary or situational challenges. Accessible design is smart design.

Four Quick Tips

Are you looking for easy ways to improve your digital content today? Here are four quick tips that will help you improve your content's accessibility: 

1. Include Alternative Text (Alt Text) to describe images for screen reader users. Find additional resources for Accessible Images here. 
2. Use Headings (Heading 1, Heading 2) to create a clear structure rather than just bolding text in documents, presentations, myUMBC posts, and websites. Find additional resources for Accessible Documents and Presentations here.
3. Provide descriptive link text (e.g., "Register for the Workshop") instead of vague phrases like "Click Here." Learn more about Website Accessibility here. 
4. Ensure all videos have accurate captions. Utilize Video Resources and Audio Accessibility Resources. 

UMBC's Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Your Work Matters. Whether you are sending a newsletter, updating a website, or sharing a video, you are helping build a more inclusive UMBC. Accessibility is not just a technical checklist; it is a shared commitment to ensuring that every Retriever and guest can participate fully.

Together, we can build a more inclusive digital experience for everyone at UMBC.

Below you will find the current list of candidates with all of their approved endorsements for the SGA 2026 Elections. This list includes endorsements approved through 9:30am on March 31st. We will continue to make endorsement updates as they are approved by the Election Board Chair. 
Please note there are three kinds of possible endorsements:

• Individual endorsements by an officer of a student organization;
• Student organization executive board endorsements (meaning, at a minimum, the president, vice president, and treasurer of the student org endorse the candidate);
• Student organization endorsements (meaning at least the majority of the student org membership endorses the candidate).

As a result, you'll see different types of endorsements under the names of candidates. Some endorsements supersede others. If, for example, a student org officer endorsed a candidate and that entire student org/their executive board also endorsed the candidate, you will not see a separate line for the individual officer as they are implicitly included within a full org/eBoard endorsement.
Want to submit an endorsement? You can do so at this link. You must be an officer of a recognized UMBC student organization to be eligible to submit an endorsement.
