The U.S. Department of Justice has extended the ADA Title II compliance deadline by one year, moving the University of Iowa’s compliance date to April 26, 2027. While the timeline has shifted, accessibility obligations and priorities remain unchanged. CLAS units should update web content to reflect the new date as needed and continue progress toward improving content structure, remediating high‑impact materials, and integrating accessibility into routine workflows. Resources, tools, and guidance are available on the university’s Accessibility at Iowa website. The Accessibility Task Force will conclude its work at the end of April as planned, with ongoing accessibility operations continuing under the A‑Team.
