The University of Colorado Denver is committed to ongoing digital accessibility initiatives aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, levels A and AA criteria. Level A represents the minimum level of accessibility, addressing basic web features necessary for some users to access content, while Level AA provides a more comprehensive standard that accommodates a wider range of users and situations. These efforts aim to enhance accessibility for users with sensory, cognitive, and mobility disabilities, fostering an inclusive online environment for all individuals. The university's commitment to equal access to IT has been more formally stated through the publication of an Information Technology (IT) Digital Accessibility Policy.
