可访问性资源

作为 太阳2平台2020年战略愿景, the College is committed to achieving Unsurpassed Excellence 和 Diversity at All Levels. A key aspect of this commitment is ensuring that our programs, 服务和在线产品是可访问的. This page provides resources 和 information to the campus community. The College’s efforts to transition its electronic resources to more accessible formats/options, 是由无障碍工作小组领导的.

我该如何开始?

The College has identified web content editors for each major area of the website. Content editors are asked to complete online training to learn the basics of accessibility so they can ensure Harvey Mudd achieves its goal of bringing our website in compliance with requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 和 Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. 除了这个培训, content editors are expected to review regular reports of accessibility issues on their respective web pages 和 to work to correct those errors. The Office of 通讯及市场推广 has developed a 网站风格指南 和 WordPress教程, along with resources 在本节中, to enable content editors to complete these tasks. Content editors will be given access to reports on their respective sections of the website as well as additional training 和 information.

文档

太阳2平台建议尽可能这样做, content editors refrain from posting information on the website in document form 和 instead post it via HTML using the WordPress content editing system. 如果你需要发布一个非常长的文档, 或者如果你需要发布更复杂的信息, please use the resources below to ensure your document is accessible. The preferred format for posting documents is Adobe Acrobat PDF.

  • If communications 和 marketing is designing a publication for you that you also need to make available as an accessible PDF, 请填写 创意简报 申请表格，并附上你需要的PDF文件. Make sure to include in the Notes section of your request that you will need the PDF version of the publication to be accessible. If we need to send your document out to have it converted, 你的太阳2注册平台将产生额外的费用.
  • Outside services: There are two main services the College recommends for converting documents to accessible versions. accessibil-iT charges roughly $80/hour for conversion of PDF files but does offer same day or next day service in many cases. 247无障碍文档 offers tiered pricing based on the type of source document. For converting a PDF to an accessible PDF, the cost is $10/page.

We recommend that wherever possible you link to sources directly from the content of your page rather than including footnotes. 然而, should you need to include them, please refer to our 脚注指南 在本节中.
