Measures to Support Accessibility
At MITS, we are committed to providing digital accessibility for individuals with disabilities. We strive to create a user-friendly and inclusive experience for all visitors. Several students with visual impairments have shared that our website is highly accessible, estimating a usability rate of around 95%. We are proud of this feedback and remain dedicated to continuous improvement.
To support accessibility across our website and learning platform, we take the following measures:
- Incorporate accessibility principles into our internal policies and procedures.
- Regularly review our site design and layout with accessibility in mind.
- Address accessibility barriers reported by users in a timely manner.
- Use accessible fonts, color contrasts, and layout structures that support screen readers and other assistive tools.
Standards We Strive To Follow
We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, and cognitive impairments.
Our site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that while most of our content meets accessibility standards, some areas may not yet fully comply. We are committed to ongoing improvement.
