Conformance status
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, including postsecondary institutions participating in Title IV federal student aid programs.
To meet this obligation, this website partially conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
This website also aligns with all applicable state and federal accessibility laws under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including Title III obligations for private postsecondary institutions as places of public accommodation.
Our testing and remediation efforts are ongoing. Because the web’s technology and assistive tools evolve, occasional issues may arise for specific users. All website areas, including forms and policy pages, are tested against these WCAG standards. Our compliance measures also address all relevant state and federal accessibility requirements.
