Welcome to Social Media Accessibility

Social media platforms are powerful tools for communication, information sharing, and community building. However, ensuring accessibility on social media is essential to create an inclusive digital environment where everyone, including individuals with disabilities, can fully engage with content. Effective April 24, 2026, all CSUN web and mobile applications and their content, including documents and videos, plus social media posts, must be accessible (meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [WCAG] 2.1 Level AA.)
