Web accessibility overview
IN KEEPING WITH OUR MISSION, The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is committed to equal access of web information for all. This document states the standards for the accessibility to select web-based services to meet student and community needs, and to ensure compliance with regulations.
Our standards allow people with disabilities to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use, using reasonable accommodations when necessary.
