Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi follows the standards stated in Texas Administrative Code, Rule 206.70 (TAC 206.70) for websites and other Electronic and Information Resources (EIR) to comply with WCAG 2.0 AA standards and additional requirements in TAC.
WCAG Standards
Other TAC 206.70 Standards
TAC 206.70 actually excludes Guideline 1.2 Time Based Media from WCAG 2.0 AA, however, it indicates requests for accommodations must be met quickly.
Additionally, it added two sections, one of which is more recently covered in WCAG 2.1. "Institutions of higher education websites and web applications should be designed to support:
- variations in internet connection speeds and emerging communications protocols and technologies; and
- the ability to adapt content to end user devices such as mobile phone, tablets, or other devices which are available to the general public."
Conformance
To be in conformance with accessibility standards, all content on all sections of the website, application, or document must be in conformance with accessibility standards. Therefore,
- If 99 pages of a website are in conformance but 1 page is not, the website is not in conformance.
- If all web pages of a website are in conformance but the documents are not, the website is not in conformance.
