Accessibility

Our policy & commitment

CollegeSource is committed to ensuring its website and products are accessible to all users, regardless of ability. We continually strive to improve accessibility and comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

If you have questions or suggestions for accessibility improvements or encounter barriers on our digital properties, please use the widget at the bottom of your browser to contact us.

Digital accessibility statement

We are working to ensure our websites and online services are accessible for all and are committed to following the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and other applicable web accessibility laws.

To accomplish this, we have partnered with Level Access to leverage their digital accessibility platform and 25 years of experience to achieve and sustain conformance to accessibility standards. Their digital accessibility platform is used to evaluate our digital properties in accordance with best practices and is supported by a diverse team of accessibility professionals, including users with disabilities. Through this partnership, CollegeSource continues to develop our digital accessibility program and capabilities so that we are designing, developing, and testing our websites and online services for conformance to accessibility standards.

Accessibility documentation

To demonstrate our ongoing commitment to product compliance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, we maintain two types of accessibility documentation:

  • VPAT (or “Accessibility Conformance Report”)
  • Accessibility Roadmaps

– CollegeSource® Online Accessibility Roadmap

– TES®, the Transfer Evaluation System Accessibility Roadmap

– uAchieve® Degree Audit, Planner, and Schedule Builder Accessibility Roadmap

Testing documentation

Testing documentation presents the evaluation methods and results of validated testing. For example:

  • We support all screen readers
  • Testing software utilized includes Job Access With Speech (JAWS), NVDA, and Voice Over

Accessibility FAQs

Do the technologies and services CollegeSource offers adhere to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act?

Yes, all our products are developed according to Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. Areas where we fall short of those standards are outlined in the VPATs and Accessibility Roadmaps for each product.

Do CollegeSource applications conform with accessibility standards set forth in the WCAG 2.2?

Yes, we follow WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards when developing all our products. Any known issues or places where we fall short of those standards are outlined on the Accessibility Roadmaps page along with approximate timelines for resolution.

Are CollegeSource applications ADA compliant?

While the Americans With Disabilities Act (or ADA) broadly prohibits discrimination based on disability, we strive for Section 508 compliance since this specifically focuses on federal agencies to make their electronic and information technologies accessible to people with disabilities.

I need a VPAT, but...where do I start?

Start by answering these questions:

  • What CollegeSource product(s) does your school use?

Each product has a separately maintained VPAT.

  • What are the version number(s)?

VPATs and other accessibility documentation are version-controlled—that is, updated with every release.

  • Navigate to the list of product VPATs listed in the section above.

The selected document will automatically download or open in a new browser tab. Share, print, or save as a PDF. (If the VPAT for an earlier release of uAchieve® Degree Audit, Planner, or Schedule Builder is needed, please contact accessibility@collegesource.com.)
