Digital accessibility: an approach to creating websites, applications, software and content ensuring their reception regardless of the user’s level of difficulty or disability on an equal footing with others.
WCAG
In order to ensure digital accessibility the WCAG guidelines should be followed.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a set of guidelines that specify the way to prepare website content so that it is accessible to all, including persons with specific needs.
Under the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities, the Jagiellonian University is obliged, inter alia, to adapt its websites to the WCAG 2 AA standard and publish its accessibility statement.
Consequently, JU website administrators are responsible for meeting the statutory requirements as much as it is possible.
Detailed information on the creation and publication of accessible content for the JU Portal can be found in the Tutorials (access after login).
Accessible documents
These are documents that ensure equal access to content regardless of the users’ specific needs. One can get familiar with their content by means of, for instance, a screen reader.
