Accessibility Statement
The University of Northern Colorado is committed to making our website and online services accessible to everyone. We work to ensure our digital content is easy to use and meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and the State of Colorado Technology Accessibility Rules.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we continuously improve our website and online tools so all students, employees, and visitors have equal access to information and services.
What We Are Doing
To support accessibility across UNC’s digital platforms, we:
- Add meaningful alternative text to images
- Design pages that work with keyboard navigation
- Use clear and consistent HTML to support screen readers
- Regularly scan our website for issues using tools such as Acquia Optimize
- Support accessible course content through the UDOIT tool in Canvas
- Provide training and resources to help campus create accessible documents, emails, and online content
- Follow purchasing rules that require new technology to meet accessibility standards
In December 2025, UNC launched a redesigned website built with accessibility and usability as top priorities.
