Include a disability access statement to allow participants to request disability-related accommodations if auto-captioning is not sufficient.
- If you receive a disability-related request for captions, complete our CART Captioning request form.
If your UA sponsored event includes a large number of students and/or employees, please contact DRC for consultation about disability access.
