Digital Accessibility

Making our technology accessible means more than just following the law. It means providing equal access to our entire community. It enables everyone to participate and experience all our opportunities, whether academic, professional, entertaining or social.

Tarleton State University is committed to excellence in providing this accepting environment. We strive to:

• Provide training and guidance on how to meet compliance standards for accessible digital resources.
• Ensure all technology we create, use and purchase is accessible to everyone.

You are an important part of this process. Your efforts allow individuals with disabilities and impairments, (ranging from visual, hearing, cognitive and neurological and motor function skills) to access information through assistive technologies. Your service to them simultaneously makes technology easier for our entire Tarleton family to use.

Adopted Digital Accessibility Standard

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Tarleton State University is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
