Web and Digital Accessibility

Excelsior University’s Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Excelsior University is committed to ensuring accessibility in its digital environment. Our website and learning resources comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2 AA), a set of international standards that make digital content accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

In addition, we comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which mandates that any federal agency or federally funded entity, including educational institutions, ensures that its electronic and information technology is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Section 508 compliance requires adherence to WCAG 2.0 standards, which ensures broad accessibility of our digital content.

Technology Used for Testing

We regularly test our website with assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and color contrast tools. Our website is constantly reviewed to meet or exceed accessibility standards.

Feedback on Website Accessibility

We welcome feedback on any accessibility issues. Please use the Website Feedback form link in the footer of each page to report issues or suggestions. We aim to respond to all feedback within 72 hours.

Our Accessibility Partner

Excelsior University partners with Ablr, a company that employs people who are blind and visually impaired to provide accessibility audits, training, and consulting services. This partnership ensures our digital content is continually improved and accessible.
