USM Remediation Sprints Schedule

Using the Digital Accessibility 6 Essential Steps, created by our colleagues at University of Maryland, College Park, we will host monthly remediation sprints where we tackle one essential step of digital accessibility each month. These sprints, hosted on Zoom, will include a short overview of the essential steps and then active work time to remediate your own documents. Our Digital Accessibility Work Group campus representatives will offer additional sessions throughout the month.

Below is the remediation sprint schedule for 2025-2026:

• Monday, February 9, 2-3 pm ET: Multimedia Sprint, Register for the Sprint 
• Monday, March 9, 2-3 pm ET: Sprint to Finish, Register for the Sprint
