To provide more accessible services, Rutgers has instituted a Web Accessibility policy and is generating an Online Course Accessibility policy. These policies encompass the regulatory principles that the university wishes to adhere to in the effort to increase accessibility at Rutgers.
The Rutgers World Wide Web Accessibility Policy defines the standards for the accessibility and usability of web-based information and services to create an inclusive environment for students, faculty, and staff to invest in the usability of our web resources and to proactively comply with federal regulation and law. All web pages newly created, redesigned, or modified by the University, any of its units, or any of its faculty must comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. For more information on conformance and success criteria for the guidelines, see How to Meet WCAG (Quick Reference).
The Rutgers Website Policy governs all websites representing Rutgers. This policy explains how websites must behave concerning educational materials, advertising, fundraising, links, administration, etc., to ensure our web presence is available to the widest possible audience and is responsibly maintained.
