Why higher-ed teams choose 508Audit

Campus-aware scoping

We sequence by what students actually use — apply, register, pay, learn, request accommodations — not by IT inventory order.

LMS + document depth

Most Title II risk lives in course materials and PDFs. We baseline both and design a remediation plan that scales to faculty, not just IT.

Defensible deliverables

Named-evaluator audits, evidence logs, and remediation roadmaps your general counsel and ADA / 504 coordinator can put on the record.

Higher education FAQ

  • Does ADA Title II apply to public colleges and universities?
    Yes. Public institutions of higher education are covered by ADA Title II and must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA under the 2024 DOJ rule. Institutions enrolling 50,000+ residents in their service area follow the April 2026 deadline; smaller institutions follow April 2027.
  • What about Section 504 and OCR resolution agreements?
    Independent of Title II, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act has long required equal access in any federally funded program, and the Office for Civil Rights has driven dozens of resolution agreements specifically against college and university web content. Title II raises the floor and the urgency, but the obligation predates it.
  • What systems do you typically test?
    Admissions and registrar portals, financial aid and bursar workflows, LMS course shells, library systems, public-facing marketing sites, athletic and event sites, accommodations request flows, and the long tail of PDFs (syllabi, policies, forms) that drive Title II risk.
  • Can you work alongside our disability services office?
    Yes. We commonly partner with ADA / Section 504 coordinators, IT accessibility offices, and disability services to baseline the institution, prioritize student-facing workflows, and build a sustainable governance model.
