Introduction to Digital Accessibility
William & Mary is committed to ensuring equal access and upholding the civil rights of individuals with disabilities. The university actively works to identify, remove and prevent barriers to accessing its educational programs, services, activities and employment opportunities. All university digital content, information and communication technologies (ICT) must be accessible to individuals with disabilities and must comply with applicable state and federal laws, as well as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
