Accessibility Statement

Western Colorado University is committed to providing equitable access to our digital and technology services.

Our ongoing accessibility effort works towards being in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA criteria. Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Chapters 3,4,6 and C.R.S. 24-85-101 to 24-85-104, ARTICLE 85.

These guidelines not only help make technology accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.

The efforts of Western Colorado University are a part of a meaningful effort to make all State of Colorado services inclusive and accessible. We welcome comments on how to improve our technology’s accessibility for users with disabilities, and for requests for accommodation for any of our digital content or services.
