Accessibility Statement
Boston College is committed to ensuring that its digital services are accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are continually improving our website to make it as user-friendly as possible.
Compliance status
This website is largely compliant with the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standard due to the non-accessible content listed below.
We know that some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- Some older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
All video content on this website is hosted on YouTube, where captions can be added or edited to improve accessibility. We monitor this to ensure accuracy wherever possible.
Accessibility features
The Boston College website includes the UserWay Accessibility Widget, which allows visitors to:
- Increase text size
- Pause animations
- Adjust colour contrast
- And more accessibility adjustments based on individual preferences
We also use Automated Remediation Technology (ART) to enhance accessibility for all visitors. This technology improves keyboard navigation, focus indication, and provides alternative text for images where needed.
