This summer, we will roll out several updates and enhancements to the university website that will affect all web pages. These updates are in response to consistent and frequent website user feedback, website accessibility requirements, user behavior evaluations and data analysis. The size of text will be increased in content areas making it easier to read stories and browse information. Visit Website Updates for detailed summary of changes, examples and review checklist.
We have recently phased out HiSoftware’s AccMonitor in favor of Compliance Sheriff. A team of people from various CSU campuses worked to create a custom checkpoints to identify specific accessibility problems based on Section 508 and WCAG 2.0.
We will continue to make changes to web templates to address problems identified by Compliance Sheriff.
