Ä¢¹½TV is required to be ADA compliant across all online resources. WGAG 2 guidelines are the standards that Ä¢¹½TV follows.

Please use the built in Accessibility testing feature of the OUCMS software and we strongly recommend using the WAVE testing tool. 

Image Compliance

What is a good description? Use words that explain what the graphic is - if you closed your eyes and heard a screen reader tell you what the image is - would the description be understandable.

ALWAYS REMEMBER - for EVERY image/graphic/photo - you MUST add a DESCRIPTION.

Note: Graphics that are decorative elements on a page that does not impact the content of information being presented does not require a description according to WCAG 2 standards. However - we encourage you to use a description in this situation that includes "decorative graphic" so this is clear to a user and within ADA guidelines.
