Upload & Link to a File

First, consider whether your content needs to be a downloadable PDF. If not, put it on a web page instead as "live text." We recommend that text documents be pasted into a web page as live text, as this is a much easier and more accessible way for users to consume information. If you need to upload a PDF, please check with the Disability Services office to ensure it is accessible.

Note: There is a 2 MB file size limit for uploading files.
