St. Olaf College employees and students use hundreds of websites, micro sites, web applications, and digital tools to complete administrative, operational, and academic work.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are committed to ensuring seamless web navigation for all users of these platforms, including individuals with disabilities, in alignment with the WCAG 2.1 AA standards<\/a>. St. Olaf is also in the process of ensuring that all digital channels meet the new standards set by the Health and Human Services Act<\/a>. The goal is to support a campus-wide culture where inclusivity is prioritized before publishing, and all digital tools are updated and compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Through a combination of automated monitoring, remediation software, and mandatory certification, St. Olaf will embed a commitment to accessibility into the daily operations of the college. This is not just about compliance \u2014 it’s about ensuring that we are best serving all members of the college community. Our goal is to establish an “accessibility-first” culture by ensuring that all content creators have a demonstrated working knowledge of digital equity standards. We will do this through continuous communication and training.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Institutional Equity<\/h3>\n

Digital equity and accessibility is a priority for St. Olaf College. We firmly believe that it’s critical that our digital spaces are as accessible as our physical spaces, and we are taking important steps to make that part of how we approach our work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t
