Step One: Review Your Course Materials
Is any information outdated or not crucial to the course? If so, consider removing uncaptioned content from the course requirements altogether, or finding an updated accessible version.
Please note: Exempting a student with a captioning/transcripts accommodation from viewing the content, or providing the student with an alternate assignment, is not an equitable solution since it creates a classroom experience for one student that differs from the rest of the class.
Step Two: Find Accessible Replacements
If an uncaptioned video or audio-only content is crucial for your course, search online to see if you can find a version of the content that IS accessible.
For example, many YouTube videos include captions. You can check that captions are available by pressing the ‘CC’ button in the bottom right corner of any YouTube video.
Please note: Auto-generated captions commonly include errors and are not sufficient for this accommodation. If you start with auto-generated captions, please review them for accuracy and edit as needed before publishing.
Step Three: Fill Out the Request Form
Still can’t find your video or audio content in an accessible version online? Complete the Captioning and Transcripts Request Form to get the DRC the information we need so we can remediate your content for you.
