Our Commitment
The California State University (CSU) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. In alignment with CSU Executive Order 1111, persons with disabilities must be afforded services in an equally effective manner or provided reasonable accommodations to participate in University programs, services, and activities in ways that are equal to those afforded others.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and California Government Code §11135 establish requirements to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to programs, services, activities, and information and communication technology. These federal and state laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability and require public institutions to provide access in an equally effective manner.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s Final Rule updating regulations for Title II of the ADA formally adopts the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as the accessibility standard for web content and mobile applications provided by state and local governments. The CSU aligns its digital accessibility efforts with this standard to ensure consistent, inclusive access for all users.
Conformance Status
CSUF’s website is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Accessibility is integrated into our institutional practices through:
- Inclusion of accessibility in policies and governance;
- Integration of accessibility requirements into procurement processes;
- Ongoing accessibility training for faculty and staff;
- Clearly defined accessibility goals and assigned responsibilities; and
- Regular automated and manual accessibility testing.
Assessment and Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. Automated accessibility scans and manual evaluations of web properties, including reviews using assistive technology, are conducted at least 3 times per year. Our assessment approach also includes developer self-evaluation, review by accessibility experts, feedback from assistive technology users, and third-party evaluations as appropriate.
Accessibility monitoring and remediation are managed by every department that has a web presence within the Fullerton.edu domain.
