Educational and informational content presented on campus must be accessible to all students, faculty and staff. Video presentations with audio must be "captioned". Captioning (or subtitles) must be visible "for any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., a movie, video, or animation)." 


"It is the policy of the California State University to make information technology resources and services accessible to all CSU students, faculty, staff, and the general public regardless of disability status." Learn more on Cal Poly's Accessibility website and the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) of the California State University system website.
