At the University of South Carolina Upstate, we are committed to ensuring that all students have equal educational and technological opportunities in the classroom. Students have a right to know the privacy and accessibility policies of the tools they use.  

We are committed to making our learning environments accessible to all of our users, and we welcome your feedback about how we can make it better. If you encounter any issues accessing your course content or tools, or if you would like to request materials in a different format, please do not hesitate to contact your instructor or reach out to us at academicinnovation@uscupstate.edu.
