Hampden-Sydney College is committed to ensuring that all web content produced by the College is accessible to all people, including those with disabilities. To those ends, we use a web governance suite (Silktide) to monitor the site for compliance with WCAG 2.2, level AA, per our obligations under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This tool provides continuous feedback and recommendations to improve WCAG compliance.
Watch "Introduction to Web Accessibility and W3C Standards" for an explanation about why accessibility is important and how accessibility features benefit everyone, not just people with disabilities. The video covers core principles about how and why we design websites and apps to ensure they work with various assistive technologies.
