Enabling access
Princeton is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive community, which includes ensuring that its information technology supports participation by a broad range of people.
The Office of Information Technology provides services to help ensure the University's digital resources and information are accessible to people with disabilities. We guide decisions and directly support offices and colleagues who are responsible for technologies and digital information used for teaching and learning, research, administrative activities, and engagement.
For immediate assistance with accessibility issues, please request accessibility assistance.
