Accessibility means taking proactive steps to identify and remove barriers so that everyone—regardless of ability—can participate fully and equitably. As defined in McMaster University’s Policy on Accessibility (2010), it involves anticipating the diverse needs of our community and making thoughtful adjustments to increase access for all.

At the DeGroote School of Business, Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) is committed to this approach. All consultation, design, and development work carried out by TLS aligns with McMaster University’s accessibility guidelines.

When instructors consider accessibility in their course planning and delivery, they help create more inclusive and supportive learning environments. This not only broadens the reach of their teaching but also improves the overall learning experience for all students, helping each learner thrive.
