University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) is committed to fostering a digital environment that ensures equal access to information, technology, and services for all members of our community, including students, faculty, staff, and individuals with disabilities. This policy aligns with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Section 508 compliance requirements, and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Title II final rule (2024). Our goal is to provide accessible digital resources that support academic success, professional development, and community engagement.
Our Goal
The University of Arizona Global Campus wants everyone who visits UAGC to feel welcome and have a fulfilling experience.
UAGC adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard for accessibility across digital content, online services, communication platforms, and multimedia.
What are we doing?
As we designed the website, we worked to implement the following guidelines:
- Perceivable
- Offering alternatives for time-based media for video resources.
- Optimizing content so it’s easier to see and hear, including separating the foreground from the background.
- UAGC.edu does not have any audio-only content, so there is no live audio content where we have captions (Guideline 1.2.4).
- Operable
- Providing alternatives for users to navigate the website, find the content they’re looking for, and determine their viewport on a web page.
- Understandable
- Ensuring text content is readable and understandable
- Having web pages load, appear, and operate in consistent and predictable ways
- Assisting users avoid and correct mistakes
- UAGC.edu does not facilitate financial transactions or legal commitments to users so there are not error prevention functionalities specific to these items (Guideline 3.3.4)
Continuous Improvement
UAGC continually evaluates and updates its digital accessibility practices to align with evolving standards and regulations, including the DOJ’s compliance deadlines and requirements for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
