Accessibility

At Ludlow University, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability or disability. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, which provide standards for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Accessibility Features

Here are some of the features we have implemented to make our website more accessible:

  1. Alternative Text for Images: We provide alternative text descriptions for all images on our website, ensuring that users with visual impairments can understand the content of the images.
  2. Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be fully navigated using only a keyboard, allowing users who cannot operate a mouse to access all content and features.
  3. Descriptive Links: We use descriptive link text to ensure that users using screen readers can understand the purpose of each link without having to read surrounding text.
  4. Readable Text: We have ensured that the text on our website is readable and adjustable. Users can easily increase or decrease the text size according to their preferences.
  5. Color Contrast: We have paid attention to the color contrast of text and background elements to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
  6. Accessible Forms: Our online forms are designed to be accessible to screen readers and are structured in a logical and intuitive manner.
  7. Video Captioning: Videos on our website are captioned to ensure that users who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the content.
