UDL-U supports postsecondary faculty and staff by providing resources and examples to improve postsecondary education for all students, including those with disabilities. UDL-U is designed to be useful for individual inquiries related to small UDL topics, issues, or problems, as well as scalable to larger faculty development efforts (e.g., Faculty Learning Communities). UDL-U frames course redesign as a three-tier professional development process:

1. Application of UDL principles to enhance teaching and learning
2. Utilization of accessible instructional media and practices
3. Awareness of assistive technology enablers and barriers
