Colleges and universities

Course pages, portals, applications — all of it is covered.

Why colleges and universities specifically

Institutions receiving federal funding carry obligations across an unusually large digital surface: admissions and application forms, course catalogues, learning platforms, library systems and department microsites — often maintained by dozens of separate teams, which is why coverage drifts.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II where applicable

Educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance must make their programs and activities accessible, including online instruction and student-facing services.

This is general information, not legal advice, and no automated tool can certify compliance. We document what we find and what we did not check.

What tends to fail here

Application forms
A prospective student who cannot complete an application is excluded from the institution entirely.
Course catalogues
Heading structure is how non-visual users navigate long listings; broken hierarchy makes them unusable.
Departmental microsites
Decentralised ownership is why accessibility regresses — pages ship without review.
PDF-heavy content
Untagged PDFs are a frequent and often invisible barrier in academic settings.

Colour contrast and post-interaction states need a full browser render. Paid plans run that audit, repeat it weekly, and keep a dated record you can hand to counsel or a funder.
