Committed to accessibility for all Hawkeyes.

The University of Iowa is committed to ensuring the accessibility of electronic, information technology resources, and facilities used by members of the university community and general public. This commitment supports the university’s mission of teaching, research and service, and is maintained in accordance with relevant federal and state laws.

“Accessible” means that individuals with disabilities are able to independently acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services within the same timeframe as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use.
