ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT ROLES

There are two custom course roles in Blackboard that are available to support accessibility:

The Accessibility Support course role has the same privileges as a Student, which allow staff from Student Disabilities Services to review course content for accessibility.
An Interpreter also has the same privileges as a Student. This special role is designed to support students with hearing impairments as identified by Student Disabilities Services.

Please consult the Student Disabilities Services office for more information about using these roles.
