Site Accessibility

About our Site

Asbury University seeks to provide digital accessibility for users of all abilities. Our team is committed to improving the user experience and applying relevant accessibility standards.

Accessibility Guidelines

We make every effort to follow the guidelines provided by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) at the Double A standard. These accessibility guidelines help us work to make content accessible to a wide range of users. The colors, typography and structure of our website were built with accessibility in mind.

Accessibility relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

• HTML
• WAI-ARIA
• CSS
• JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Accessibility Features

The following points summarize the primary accessibility considerations that have been taken into account with our site’s design and development.

Perceivable

• Providing text alternatives for non-text content, and avoiding images made of text.
• Providing captions and alternatives for videos and other multimedia.
• Making it easier for users to see and hear content with appropriate color contrast and text size.

Operable

• Making the site functional from a keyboard.
• Giving users time to read and use content.
• Avoiding content known to cause physical reactions, such as blinking or rapid transitions.

Robust

• Working to ensure our site is compatible with various assistive technologies.

Limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing process for a site where content is modified on a regular basis. Below is a description of known limitations that we are aware of as of October 2024. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

Quality of user generated content: The Asbury site is maintained by a set of key users. Through ongoing training and regular site audits, we strive to ensure the quality of content from our key users.
