Web Accessibility Statement
McMurry University is committed to providing equal access to its digital resources for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We recognize that accessibility is essential to our mission of inclusive education and are dedicated to ensuring that our websites, digital content, and online services are accessible and usable by everyone.
Accessibility Standards, Scope, and Commitment
Accessibility Standards
McMurry University aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which are recognized as the standard for digital accessibility. These guidelines are referenced in the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2024 rule implementing Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
McMurry University is committed to meeting these standards across all university-managed digital properties.
WCAG Principles
WCAG 2.1 AA is based on four foundational principles:
Perceivable
Information is presented in ways users can perceive (e.g., text alternatives, captions)
Operable
Interface components are usable via keyboard and assistive technologies.
Understandable
Content and navigation are clear and predictable.
Robust
Content is compatible with current and future assistive technologies
Scope of Accessibility
This accessibility commitment applies to:
- The McMurry University website and all subdomains
- Web-based applications and services managed by the university
- Digital course materials and instructional content (to the extent applicable)
- Third-party platforms are used to deliver university services, where feasible
While we strive to ensure accessibility across all platforms, some third-party content may not be fully accessible. We actively work with vendors to improve accessibility and provide alternative access when necessary.
Accessibility Efforts
McMurry University maintains an ongoing accessibility program that includes:
- Periodic accessibility audits and testing, including automated and manual evaluations
- Prompt remediation of identified accessibility barriers
- Integration of accessibility standards into web design, development, and content creation workflows
- Procurement review processes to evaluate the accessibility of third-party technologies
Accessibility is treated as a continuous process, and we are committed to ongoing improvement.
