Accessibility Statement

---

Western Kentucky University is committed to providing an online environment that is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving accessibility by following recommended guidelines outlined in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998. We strive to adhere to the guidelines and standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA conformance. These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, and conformance to them improves the web's usability for all people. Information Technology Services (ITS) provides training courses and assistance to all employees on accessibility best practices. When creating WKU websites, final accessibility checks are required before publishing through Modern Campus with the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard that is federally required. .
