Accessibility

The University of Maryland is committed to creating and maintaining a welcoming and inclusive educational and working environment for people of all abilities and to ensuring equal access to information and services for all its constituencies. Web-based information and service delivery are the primary means by which the campus community and its visitors communicate and conduct business.

All institutional websites, Web applications and Web content produced, managed and/or hosted by the University of Maryland or by third-party companies should, at a minimum, conform to the Web Consortium Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) 2.0 level AA.
