Accessibility Statement

Fortis Colleges and Institutes are committed to providing equal access to digital resources, technology, and communication platforms for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors, including individuals with disabilities. Accessibility is central to our mission of preparing students for careers in healthcare and the trades and ensuring equitable opportunity for academic and professional success.

This commitment is guided by:

  • Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Prohibits discrimination and requires state and local educational institutions to provide equal access to programs, services, and activities, including digital content.
  • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act: Requires that no qualified individual with a disability be excluded or denied benefits from federally funded educational programs, including Fortis Colleges and Institutes.
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: Governs technology and information communication technology (ICT) procurement and development when federal funds are involved.
  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA: Serves as the technical standard to measure accessibility across all Fortis Colleges and Institutes digital assets.
  • By adopting WCAG 2.2 AA, Fortis Colleges and Institutes ensures alignment with legal obligations, modern accessibility practices, and the evolving needs of learners and staff.
