Ensuring your content is useful for all
Making sure that your content is accessible to all is a good practice from a marketing and communications perspective, but, where the college website is concerned, it’s also federal law. All Title IV institutions (those that award federal financial aid to students) are expected to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This 1998 amendment to the original 1973 legislation addresses accessibility concerns in electronic and information technology, including web-based intranet and internet information and systems.The criteria that apply to the college website are based on access guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
