href="https://www.3playmedia.com/resources/recorded-webinars/wbnr-01-30-2025-ada-compliance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Free Webinar] How 3Play Prepares You for ADA Updates<br /> </a></span></strong></span></p> <hr /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The US Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) final rule on Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) brings much-needed clarity for public universities and community colleges regarding web content and mobile app accessibility.聽</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the rule will impact a broad range of state and local government services, this blog post dives into the specific impacts this rule will have on educational content</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for public universities and community colleges.聽</span></p> <h2><b>What Is a Final Rule?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A final rule outlines new or revised requirements and their effective date. The </span><a href="https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rule-making process</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> includes several stages, such as proposing the rule and a public comment stage. Here鈥檚 a breakdown of what鈥檚 happened thus far:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DOJ proposed the rule in August 2023聽</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The period for the public to submit comments closed in October 2023</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rule was finalized in April 2024</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It took effect in June 2024</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compliance deadlines are set for 2026</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>What Does the Final Rule Mean for Higher Ed?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DOJ adopted a new standard, <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#time-based-media">WCAG 2.1</a>, for accessible web content and mobile apps. This applies to public schools, community colleges, and universities, and thus means that their covered content (websites, apps, etc.) must meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 by the deadline.</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/blog/understanding-wcag-guidelines/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WCAG</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have been the international standard for web and video accessibility for quite some time. This new rule expands Title II of the ADA to include WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a requirement for entities already covered by Title II.</span></p> <h3><b>WCAG 2.1 and Captioning/Audio Descriptions</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WCAG 2.1 Level AA provides specific guidelines for captioning and audio descriptions:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b>1.2.2 Captions (Pre-recorded Video):</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Mandates captions for all pre-recorded video content, essential for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. <em>*Note: This is required for Level A as well.</em></span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b>1.2.3 Audio Only (Pre-recorded Audio):</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Requires a text alternative (transcript) for audio-only content.</span></li> <li><b>1.2.4 Captions</b> <strong>(Live):</strong> Requires captions are provided for all live audio content in synchronized media.</li> <li><b>1.2.5 Audio Descriptions (Pre-recorded Video):</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Requires audio descriptions for all pre-recorded videos content in synchronized media.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In short, this means that higher education institutions will need to make these adjustments to their digital platforms including across all websites and mobile apps.聽</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><center><a class="btn btn-blue-blank" href="https://go.3playmedia.com/ada-for-edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Free checklist: Preparing for ADA Title II in Public Education 馃摑</a></center>&nbsp;</p> <h2><b>What Are the Compliance Deadlines?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the rule went into effect on June 24, 2024, the deadlines for compliance are set for 2026 and 2027. Deadlines vary based on the size of the local government. Generally, e</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">nforcement begins on:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">April 24, 2026, for public entities with a state or local government population of 50,000 or more</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">April 26, 2027, for public entities with a population of fewer than 50,000</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Colleges and universities should use the locality&#8217;s population, not their own student body size, using 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data to find the relevant population.</span></p> <h3><b>Exceptions</b></h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are limited exceptions, including archived web content and preexisting social media posts.聽</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rule clarifies that password-protected content is not one of the exceptions and must also comply with WCAG 2.1 AA within 2-3 years of the final rule&#8217;s publication.</span></li> </ul> <h2><b>How 3Play Helps You Meet Compliance</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To prepare for the updates, it鈥檚 crucial to start the process as soon as possible.<br /> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Familiarize yourself with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards</strong> to understand what is required of your institution to be in compliance. It is essential to know exactly what steps you need to take to meet these standards.<br /> </span></p> <div class="su-box su-box-style-default" id="" style="border-color:#000000;border-radius:5px"><div class="su-box-title" style="background-color:#000000;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px">Does your institution purchase web content from a vendor?</div><div class="su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim" style="border-bottom-left-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px">If you do, ensure that your vendor鈥檚 content complies with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
