Web Accessibility Evaluation

Web evaluations are conducted to report problems regarding the accessibility and usability of web applications within the CSUN web environment. Some testing is done on individual department web sites, and all campus areas are trained on compliance standards.

The Level Access digital accessibility solution combines the most robust platform and deepest bench of accessibility expertise to help organizations create accessible and legally compliant websites, mobile apps, software, and other technology. Level Access continues to be known for its deep and respected subject matter expertise and unparalleled leadership in the accessibility business.
The Compliance Sheriff Checkpoints created based on the CSU ATI Accessibility Requirements and Compliance Sheriff Accessibility Module is used to conduct regular tests within the CSUN web domain. Additional manual testing is conducted as needed based on the findings.
The Universal Design Center also provides more extensive testing on enterprise level products purchased, promoted, or supported by campus.
