ADA Transition Plan

UT Austin is working to improve accessibility across campus. The updated ADA Transition Plan provides a framework for achieving equal access to programs, activities, and services.

UT Austin prohibits discrimination and harassment based on protected status and is committed to a safe learning and working environment.

UT Austin began its accessibility efforts before the ADA, completing its first transition plan in 1977 under Section 504 regulations after surveying campus barriers. This digitized version of the original document may contain occasional transcription errors.

UT Austin completed its original ADA Transition Plan in 1992. Because campus programs, locations, and needs have changed since then, the plan has been updated to reflect current conditions. This digitized version of the original document may contain occasional transcription errors.

This report is several years old and no longer current. At the time, UT Austin hired Accessology, a Texas‑based accessibility consulting firm, to review campus paths of travel, including certain streets under university control. The report informed earlier efforts focused on improving accessible routes across campus. This digitized document is outdated and may contain transcription errors.

In FY 22‑23, UT Austin hired Registered Accessibility Specialists from Altura Solutions to assess general‑purpose classroom buildings for Texas Accessibility Standards/ADAAG compliance. These high‑traffic academic spaces guide future project planning, and the ADA Prioritization Committee began funding improvements from the assessment in FY 23‑24.
