Universal Design for Learning (UDL) allows all students to more easily learn course concepts and information by:

• Removing barriers to the learning process without watering down academic standards.
• Providing flexible and customizable delivery of content, assignments, and activities.

UDL also allows many students with disabilities to access course activities without individual accommodations or with fewer accommodations.

Faculty can use these UDL practices to:

• Create a climate of openness and respect.
• Consider the physical environment.
• Clearly define expectations and offer feedback.
• Promote information access.
• Use cooperative learning methods.
• Assess students' knowledge through a variety of methods.
