Welcome to the eAccessibility Academy

Auburn University is committed to making our websites accessible to all users, including those that use Assistive Technology. When developing our webpages, Auburn University uses the standards and best practices defined by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and Section 508 Standards of the Rehabilitation Act. Our goal is to provide you with all you need to make accessibility easy to use, easy to learn, and readily available.

This site is designed to provide you with instructions on how to make documents, websites, multimedia, and online platforms/material accessible.

Why do we focus on accessibility?

1. It’s the right thing to do.
2. It's a smart thing to do.
3. It's the law.
   • Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (amended in 1998)
     
   • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990
