Digital Accessibility Support from DELTA

DELTA partners with NC State instructors, departments and programs to help ensure digital course materials are accessible to all learners. From hands-on workshops to self-paced resources, our digital accessibility support helps you meet accessibility requirements while improving the learning experience for all.

How DELTA Can Help
