Accessibility

The University of North Florida is committed to making our website accessible to all users and compatible with screen readers. It is our goal to comply with WCAG’s level A &AA success criteria.

Individual site editors are responsible for ensuring that content is compliant, which includes but is not limited to the following:

• Content pages must contain a Heading 1
• Images have descriptive alt tags
  • Don’t forgot to check your banner’s alt text
• Hyperlinks have descriptive wording
  • Avoid using “click here” and “read more”
  • Link text should make sense out of context
• Tables are formatted properly with column/row headings
• Transcripts accompany video and audio files
• Graphics have proper color contrast
• Don’t underline words since this indicates a hyperlink

Editors must run pages through a validation tool after making content changes to a page.

Web and Digital Services offers a class via CPDT.
