Website Accessibility
Palomar College is committed to providing a website that is accessible to individuals of all abilities. By employing universal design, we strive to develop our websites in compliance with California Government Code 7405 that specifies conformance with the standards set forth in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The college has adopted WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). These standards are currently being incorporated into our web pages.
For a simple and straightforward checklist for website accessibility, see the Accessibility Quick Start. Here are some general accessibility resources – including accessibility for digital documents. Lastly, if you manage a website here at Palomar, learn how to get started with our site-checking tool.
Palomar College has a detailed Web Accessibility Complaint and Resolution Process. If you notice an issue on any page of Palomar College’s websites, please report the issue here.
