Accessibility Access Reinstatement Quiz

Augusta University is committed to providing an inclusive online experience for all visitors. As a web publisher, your role is essential in keeping our digital content welcoming, usable, and compliant. To maintain your web editing permissions, you must complete the mandatory annual accessibility attestation and knowledge check. Please ensure you monitor and read all official communications from Web Services. Failure to complete this annual requirement or respond to Web Services notices will result in the temporary suspension of your website editing access.

This yearly process helps us maintain accurate publisher records, reinforces core accessibility standards, and ensures our digital campus remains open to everyone. Thank you for your continued partnership and attention to these essential updates!

Accessibility Guidelines and Best Practices

All web publishers at Augusta.edu are required to adhere to the following accessibility guidelines and best practices:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2: WCAG 2.2 is a set of internationally recognized guidelines that define the accessibility requirements for web content. Augusta University requires web publishers to strive for conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria.
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: Section 508 sets accessibility requirements for all electronic and information technology used by the Federal government. While Augusta University is not a federal agency, adhering to Section 508 guidelines is considered best practice for web accessibility.

In addition to the above, Web Services recommends following best practices for website design and development, such as:

  • Using clear and concise language
  • Providing alternative text descriptions for images
  • Planning intuitive navigation on your site to help visitors find what they're looking for.
  • Ensuring that the content you publish does not already exist on the website
  • Only use graphics if they help a user complete a task or perform a specific function
  • Providing concise, unique titles and descriptions of pages to ensure optimal search performance.
  • Ensuring that the documents and files you link to on the website are also accessible
  • Comply with HIPAA and FERPA regulations

Resources and Support

Augusta.edu provides a variety of resources and support to assist web publishers in meeting these accessibility requirements. These resources include:

  • Web Accessibility Training Presentation
  • Accessibility testing tools: Tools to identify and address accessibility issues on web pages include: Wave Evaluation Tool, Web Accessibility Checker, and SiteImprove
  • Accessibility support: The web services team can provide guidance and support on accessibility matters.
  • Web Content Guidelines
