Effective March 24, 2026, the “Check Survey Accessibility” tool within Qualtrics will be activated for all UCR users. Moving forward, passing this accessibility check will be required before a survey can be published or distributed. 

This update aligns with UCR’s adherence to updated federal and systemwide digital accessibility standards, which must be met by April 24, 2026. By ensuring our surveys are compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies, we create a more inclusive campus that allows every Highlander to participate in research, evaluations, and campus feedback.
