Policies

Accessibility

Standards, current status, and the two places we know we fall short.

Home Accessibility

Commitment

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Every image has alternative text, every interactive control is reachable by keyboard with a visible focus indicator, color contrast meets or exceeds the standard throughout, and motion is disabled for anyone whose system requests reduced motion.

Known gaps

  • The campus map is a diagram. The building list beside it carries the same information in text, which is the accessible route and is not an afterthought.
  • Photographs across the site carry alternative text describing their content, not just their filename.

Physical accessibility

Twelve of 14 campus buildings are fully accessible. See the campus map for building-level detail, including the two exceptions we have not solved.

Report a barrier

Email access@uwporterfalls.edu. This is a parody site, so nothing sends, but on a real university site this address is the single most important line on the accessibility page and it should always be a person, not a form.
