Web Accessibility

UCM continues to make strides ensuring the university’s Web site is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities (visual impairments, blindness, etc.). With the help of the Division of Information Services, the UCM Web team is here to provide counsel and advice to university webmasters in making their Web sites better comply with Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Here are some Web Accessibility Resources, which also can be found in the Guide to Web Standards: Compliance with Section 508 of Rehabilitation Act.*

• e-Inside Article: How Your Department Can Improve Web Accessibility
• Web Accessibility: Tips for Bringing Your Site Into Compliance
  
• Designing for People with Partial Sight and Color Deficiencies
• Guide to Creating Web Accessible PDF Documents (Second Edition)
• University Guide to Web Standards (Includes Guidelines on Accessibility)
