Captioning Policy

To ensure that all videos and audio files created, procured, and posted on official Tufts websites are accessible to all, Tufts Technology Services (TTS), in partnership with the Student Accessibility & Academic Resource Center (StAAR), Educational Technology, the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO), the Tisch Library, and University Counsel, developed a Captioning Policy (PDF).

This policy applies to all videos and audio files created or posted after June 30, 2022, and requires that all videos and audio files created for use by the university community include closed captioning.

For guidance on policy implementation, please visit the Captioning Policy page. For most videos and audio files at Tufts, closed captioning is easy to do and costs nothing!
