The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 reinforced the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by requiring Minnesota State University, Mankato to be fully accessible to all students regardless of accommodation requests.
Instructors using media in the courses (onsite and online) are required, by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, to provide equivalent alternatives for students with hearing disabilities.

Any copyrighted materials that are digitized/captioned by ITS must comply with Copyright and Fair Use regulations.
